Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz Interview Series. On this episode, we talk with Chicago-based actor, vocalist, pianist, music director, and conductor Isabella Isherwood.

We caught up with her to discuss her debut 2026 album The Sweetest Sounds, and a promising career that continues to expand across stage, screen, and music.

A dynamic and versatile performer, Isabella has trained at The Second City, Acting Studio Chicago, and the Jazz Institute of Chicago—bringing a rich blend of theatricality and musicality to her jazz artistry.

In this conversation, we explore her journey, creative process, and the evolution of her sound as she steps into the spotlight with her first full-length release.

This is a fresh and exciting voice in modern jazz.
