Baby Jane Dexter

It is with great sadness we report the death of Baby Jane Dexter on May 21, 2019.

Long a mainstay of the cabaret scene in New York City and across the country, she brought a fresh approach to her material with her humor, intelligence, and grit.

Her energy, intelligence, and commitment to the art form will be missed.

She brought this same approach to her recordings: I Got Thunder, Big Bad & Blue, With Arms Wide Open, You’re Following Me!, If, and The Real World.

She was honored with the 2015 MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets) Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as MAC Awards in the competitive categories Major jazz/Pop/Rhythm & Blues Vocalist (199, 2002, 2010; 2013), Outstanding Female Cabaret Vocalist Nightlife Awards 2008, 2009, 2010, and a Backstage Bistro Award in 1992.

In 1998, she made her Carnegie Hall debut, appearing in the Weill Recital Hall to considerable acclaim. In December of that year, she was at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall for the Concord Jazz Christmas show, A Singin’, Swingin’ Christmas. She also performed at Eighty Eights, The Russian Tea Room, The Village Gate, The Metropolitan Room, Arci’s Place, the Seaport Jazz Festival, The Blue Note in Manhattan, Blues Alley in Washington DC, and King of France Tavern in Annapolis, Maryland. She has appeared at the Cinegrill in Los Angeles, the Plush Room in San Francisco, and Toulouse Cognac Bar in Chicago. She appeared numerous times at the Mabel Mercer Foundation’s annual Cabaret Convention at The Town Hall in NYC.

She took her personal difficulties and her experience as a performer and a counselor to developed a workshop program called Healing Through Entertainment – A Motivational Performance Art Experience for Women.

Her funeral will be private. There will be a public memorial service in the fall.
