Following in her dad's footsteps,
Markowitz shunned his advice. She
wanted to prove to him that she could
succeed as a singer.
"Once I started making money as a
singer, my dad was impressed," she says.

Growing Up Jewish

Religion did not play a major role in the
Markowitz home when Kate was grow-
ing up. Her father was a Jewish
American. Her mother was half-
Japanese, half-English.
"We celebrated everything," says
Markowitz. "We celebrated traditional
Jewish holidays with my grandparents,
who were important figures in my life."
In addition to the Jewish holidays,
Markowitz spent a lot of time with her
dad's parents, philanthropists who
donated land for a Jewish home for the
elderly in Santa Monica. "We always
had Passover there, and they were major
influences in my Jewish identity."
She also comes from a line of strong
women. Her mother was "a little
Bohemian, ahead of her time," and one
of her great-grandmothers, Fanny
Sharlip, was one of the early pioneers
who moved from the East Coast to
California where she could more easily
care for her sick husband.
While running a general store and car-
ing for her family, Sharlip also found
time for political and social action. She
worked on women's suffrage campaigns,
and she became a founder of the City of
Hope cancer hospital.
Today, Markowitz is a member of the
City of Hope and of the Museum of
Tolerance in Los Angeles. She is affiliat-
ed with a Reform congregation, Temple
Israel of Hollywood, where cousin John
Rosove is senior rabbi. He officiated at
funerals for both her father and grand-
parents. "I love the way he speaks," she
says.
Rosove describes his cousin as "a
searcher, an artist with a creative and gen-
tle soul." He recalls the first time he saw
Markowitz perform with James Taylor.
"To watch Kate perform is wonder-
ful," Rosove says. "She is subtle, deeply
musical, and all that reflects itself in her
music and movement on stage."
Today her Jewish identity is strong,
and it prevented her from abandoning
her Jewish-sounding moniker for a stage
name.
"Markowitz is not a great stage name,
but I could never change it," she says.

Map Of Kates World

On the current "October Road" tour,
James Taylor has been announcing that
"Katie" has a record coming out. She first
met the pop icon in 1990, while singing
backup at an Earth Day show, and she's
been singing with him ever since.
Map of the World is the result of two
years of studio work and a lifetime goal.
It is her debut as lead vocalist and an
opportunity to let people know some-
thing more about her pop style, which
reflects world music and R&B influences.
The album features Markowitz's
melodic and understated voice in origi-
nal and introspective songs about experi-
ences with love, loss and everyday life. It
includes covers of Todd Rundgren and
Isley Brothers tunes, as well as a love
song written by her parents.
Both James Taylor and Shawn Colvin
sang backup for this album. Taylor har-
monizes with her on "I Remember
You," a tribute to her late parents and
fellow James Taylor band member Don
Grolnick.
Markowitz has no major plans to do a
solo tour to promote her album. She just
hopes people who want the album listen
to it.
"I've finally got enough songs that I
feel good about," she says. "I wanted to
put out an album that represents who I
am."

Kate Markowitz joins James
Taylor on stage 7:30 p.m. Sunday,
July 20, at DTE Energy Music
Theatre. $54 pavilion/$30.50
lawn. (248) 645-6666.
Markowitz's album, Map of the
World, will be released Tuesday,
July 22.
