Born in New Zealand, Judy Bailey became infatuated with jazz at the age of 12 after hearing a Fats Waller record. She went on to study piano at London’s Trinity College before moving to Australia in 1960 and making it her home.
In Sydney, Judy Bailey became active on the local jazz scene. Her prolific early projects include album recordings, television work, live performance, and she has worked as a musical director. Bailey's inherent versatility is evident in her musical diversity and there is no doubt she is one of Australia's leading musicians and composers.
Judy Bailey is a talented pianist who has been influenced by players of all styles and has herself performed with every major Australian jazz musician over the past two decades.
She has been awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her services to jazz music and education. In 2008, she received an award for Distinguished Services to Australian Music at the 2008 Classical Music Awards, presented by APRA and the Australian Music Centre at the Sydney Opera House.
