A recent study reveals an astonishing link between music and neuroscience. To put it simply, over time, musical training improves one’s cognitive abilities such as learning, language and memory. Perhaps that’s why it was so easy for Jazz vocalist, trombonist, and songwriter, elizabeth!, to delve into music after studying neuroscience at Harvard. Newly based in Vermont, Los Angeles, she is ready to share her one-of-a-kind jazzy pop tunes via her debut album, Brainchildren, on Nov 1st. The album was recorded in Brooklyn, NY in one day, featuring other gifted musicians who have worked with Beyonce, Bjork, Beirut and many others. elizabeth! will tour the East and West coast in support of the release beginning this fall. – Nicole Dawley
