Beverly was "house pianist" at Cafe Mundo in Newport, Oregon from March, 2013 to August, 2014.  She created and performed for the Sunday Jazz Brunch and the Wednesday Evening Jazz Jam.  She also gave solo piano jazz concerts at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, Kathy Parsons, and the Newport Performing Arts Center, three renowned concert venues in Oregon. 
Beverly's music has been heard on the radio all over the world since the 2007 release of By Rowdy Creek.  Her 2009 CD, Lacey Mae, set a record with all nine tracks played in nine weeks on Jazz Radio KMHD in Portland, Oregon.  Her 2013 CD, Buddy and Me, in addition to receiving significant airplay on KLCC in Eugene, Oregon, also attracted the attention of Jazz Ambience Radio.  The station put all the tracks from all three of these CDs in rotation. 
Jessica Williams says Beverly's music is wonderful and that she is just so full of talent and passion.  Scott Yanow says Beverly plays chords worthy of Bill Evans and that her sound is reminiscent of McCoy Tyner.  Al Evans says Beverly's 2015 recording of "Threnody" is beautiful.  Doug Anders, d.j. for Jazz Inside Out on KLCC, says Beverly's recording of "Phantom of the Islands" is great.  He also says that Freddie Hubbard must be smiling from above, hearing Beverly's video of "Little Sunflower" recorded with world-class guitarist Phil Mack.
Beverly says she is on a mission to write, record, and perform beautiful piano jazz selections.  She hopes to help the world by creating music that is both intellectually stimulating and soothing. 

Beverly Ritz's fifth CD is Blues for Django, honoring her Golden Retriever named after the legendary jazz guitarist.  The four songs featured here have already received tremendous attention on Facebook, YouTube, and in Beverly's concerts.  The songs have been endorsed by d.j./jazz journalist Al Evans, d.j. Doug Anders, and pianist Jessica Williams. 
The CD includes songs by Marian McPartland, George Cables, Henry Mancini, Richard Rodgers, Johnny Mandel, Jessica Williams, and Beverly Ritz.
With the release of this CD of jazz classics and captivating new jazz and blues, Beverly hopes to perform her solo piano jazz in a wide variety of venues, including jazz clubs and colleges, and in jazz festivals across the USA.

Michelle Rose Exclusive Interview

  Q:  What's it like growing up in Mpls?   Does the city have interesting stories about Prince?     A:  I only lived in Minneapolis until I was three, but I have fond memories of it.  Even now that I live in a suburb of Minneapolis, I still feel like I'm a part of Minneapolis.  I think a lot of Minnesotans have "Minneapolis Pride", even if they don't live in Minneapolis.  Minneapolis has so many fun things to see and do, and the arts are very important here, with so many theaters and live shows.     Prince put us on the map for music.  I hear Prince stories everywhere I go in Minnesota.  I've met so many people who were associated with Prince, including one of his dancers, and even a former Paisley Park employee working as a cashier at the local grocery store, so I've heard many Prince stories.  I wish I could've been a Chanhassen resident when Prince was still alive, because I know that many Chanhassen residents saw him casually riding his bike around

My uncle lived with us back in    Ohio then and he played the drums. I grew up with a Rock band practicing in my basement.    I did not know it at the time but this little town I lived in knew how to rock. When did music become your main interest and what lead you to take music so seriously?   When I was 13 I saw my first rock concert. It was The kinks (one for the road tour.)    It changed me instantly. Suddenly that was the only thing I wanted to do.    To this day I'm still doing it. My guitar obsession had just started and    I did take some music theory lessons as well. I began learning how to create music or write a song.    I recently worked with two clasical Violinist. A Saxsaphone player and a Pianist. The Music theory lessons did pay off as I was able to talk to them in a launguage they understood.  Being a Singer
