“Remarkable talent and potential both vocally and on saxophone.” — Jazziz

The New York City native has amassed several distinctive honors for her musicianship: NAACP Image Award Nominee for Outstanding Jazz Album, recipient of the SOUTH Arts Creative Jazz Road Artistic Residency, Downbeat Magazine’s Critics Poll Nominee for Rising Star Tenor Saxophonist and Vocalist, and Rising New Artist, two-time winner of the ASCAP Herb Alpert Young Jazz Composers Award, a recipient of the Fulbright Scholars Cultural Ambassador Grant and Chamber Music of America Performance Plus Grant among others.

“A First class saxophonist that blows the proverbial roof off the place and an accomplished stylist who uses her chords with agility and sophistication.” — All•About•Jazz

Thurman was the first woman in 30 years to tour and perform full-time internationally with the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra as a saxophonist/woodwind doubler (2018-2020 season). A respected leading musician, she has appeared at notable venues and festivals worldwide, including The Kennedy Center, Rose Theater, Winter Jazz Fest, and The Colbert Show.

“Bursting with the power of virtuosity tempered by tradition, understanding and a great feeling — a Betty Carter-ish ability to scat.” — New York Jazz Record

Camille has four full-length recordings as a leader to her credit and was an NAACP Image Award Nominee. Her most recent project, “Fortitude,” is a collaboration with master drummer Darrell Green and his quartet.

“Imagine if Sarah Vaughan played saxophone like Dexter Gordon.” — DownBeat Magazine
