Originally from Maui, Hawaii, Juliet’s earliest jazz influence came from listening to her father, Pat Green, play jazz piano and sing in many of the island’s restaurants and hotels. He even let her sit in occasionally. In 1991, Juliet moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, where she began teaching music in the Portola Valley School District. She began singing in various college vocal jazz ensembles, including Foothill’s Fanfairs and De Anza’s Vocal Flight. It was at De Anza that she met Dave Duran and Paul Cingolani, and with them founded the award-winning a cappella group +4db. In 2001, Juliet continued to sing with Cingolani and Duran under the name Vocalese Inc., and began exploring the art of vocalese, becoming an accomplished lyricist. Her debut CD, “Simple”, featuring many of her original lyrics, was released in late 2003 and is available on CD Baby.

In addition to Clockwork, Juliet continues her work as an educator Corte Madera School in Portola Valley, with the big band A Touch of Brass under the direction of Ed Morrison, and as a solo artist. She has also worked as a clinician, teacher and adjudicator at the Jazzschool in Berkeley and Jazz Camp West.
