It is a good thing that Champian Fulton loves what she is doing. Otherwise, she might find it impossible to keep up her schedule.

The Champian Fulton Trio, with Fulton, vocals, piano; Hide Tanaka, bass, and Fuku Tainaka, drums, debuted in the “Jazz OnStage” series, 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15, main stage, Miller Symphony Hall, 23 N. Sixth St., Allentown.

Fulton brings brightness and energy to jazz standards with her vibrant voice and swinging piano work. Her upbeat personality has her presenting classic songs with a freshness that makes them seem new.

She sings during most of the numbers in her concerts, although she usually does a few instrumentals that include one or two of her original compositions.

Fulton returned recently from Sweden and was taking a plane the next day to visit her family in Oklahoma, where she grew up.

“Normally, I don’t take time off. I tend to work whenever I’m asked,” she says.

Things can get tiring, even for her.

“In Scandinavia, I did nine shows in a row. including traveling. I was exhausted,” Fulton says in a phone interview from her home in Jersey City, N.J.

Fulton is not sure in how many different countries she has performed, saying it is 22 or 23.

Fulton says audiences respond warmly in Europe to the Great American Songbook material that she performs, perhaps even a bit more so than audiences in the United States. The songs appeal to young people.

“Even if they have not heard those songs, they respond to the melodies and chord changes. I see a lot of young people in my audiences. And I am seeing a lot of young women, either alone or in groups. Traditionally, it has been couples, or men alone.”

Fulton has released 16 albums, including an album of Christmas songs; the instrumental-only “Speechless”; “After Dark,” a tribute to Dinah Washington, and “Birdsong,” which celebrates the music of Charlie Parker.

She had two releases during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shutdown last summer.

“I’ll See You in My Dreams” was recorded with her Scandinavian trio when they were temporarily unable to tour. She plans to release another record with this trio in November.

On the other album from last summer, “Live From Lockdown: The Album,” her father, Stephen Fulton, plays flugelhorn and trumpet.

The latter CD is from a series of Sunday night virtual shows she did.

“We started our livestream shows when the lockdown began last March. I had no idea I was going to be doing it every week.”

She did a “Live From Lockdown Special Oklahoma Edition,” where she greeted people who signed in on YouTube. Along with the music, she told stories about the songs and her Swedish tour. Her father related anecdotes of musicians, including his friend Clark Terry.

“It is a little unnatural coming from home, without an audience. but I enjoy it very much. I get dressed like I am on a gig. Every Sunday, it is something to look forward to.”

Her last livestream concert was her 72nd. Because she’s back on tour, she no longer does virtual concerts very Sunday night.

Fulton says that standards “are what I love and what I like to play for myself.”

She has always known her career path. She began playing piano when she was three-years-old.

Fulton graduated from the State University of New York at Purchase and moved to New York City to pursue a career as a pianist and vocalist.

“Before I went to school, I didn’t know there were other types of music. I was never interested in pop music. When I heard it, I told my friends ‘You have to check out Count Basie.’”

Just live concerts are again being presented at Miller Symphony Hall, Fulton says, “New York City is opening up. Things are slowly coming back together. There is still a lack of tourists from Europe and Japan. But we recently did three nights in Birdland, and it was full every night.”
