Berklee student saxophonist Hailey Niswanger is only 20 years old, but she's already established herself as a serious jazz artist. She's shared the stage with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Wynton Marsalis, Christian McBride, McCoy Tyner, and many others. A student in the inaugural class of the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, Niswanger recently released a debut recording that so impressed legendary jazz writer Nat Hentoff that he wrote a profile of her for the Wall Street Journal. This summer, Niswanger performs a host of concerts and festivals around North America as part of the Summer 2010 series. The latest Sounds of Berklee podcast features a Niswanger original, "Confeddie."
