     A native New Yorker rolls the dice, travels west to follow a dream, picks up a few roles here and there and in the down time plays saxophone with the old-timers in three LA big bands.  Hey, the new girl can even affect the glamour and sway of the old dames who made this music famous. From Ella to Eartha she’d sing whatever you got: the old Nelson Riddle arrangements in Sinatra’s key, except much more like Sammy, whenever and wherever you needed it: Hotels, weddings, lounges, restaurants, clubs.  Eventually, the girl gets restless, cuts loose from the bands to go solo…creates her own sound.                            

     Now here she is eager to feed this unique new jazz sound to a new generation of listeners and a strong desire to satisfy the regulars. After writing two one-woman shows, The Tasha Show; and Stalker, based on the lyrics of Carl Sigman; it was obvious to Tasha that every song she sings is a story she wants to tell.   Fellow musical storytellers come in the form of brilliant pianists, Llew Matthews, Rich Eames, Mark Massey, Emil Mijares, bassists Bruce Lett, Darryl Hall, and guitarist Ruben Ramos.

      Miss Wenger has performed in many premier jazz clubs: In Los Angeles at The Catalina Bar & Grill, Steamers, and Lunaria; in New York at Ashford & Simpson’s Sugar Bar, Detour, Danny’s Skylight Room, Chez Suzette, and internationally in Italy, Germany and Israel.
