Laura Anglade Quartet
Jazz on the Back Deck
Jazz vocalist Laura Anglade is a promising storyteller with a lot to say. She draws inspiration from Carmen McRae, Blossom Dearie, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Nancy Wilson, and Anita O’Day. She has been charming audiences by bringing a fresh face to classic jazz numbers in both French and English.
Laura has made a mark in the vibrant music scenes of New York, Paris, Toronto, and Montreal. She leads an active international touring schedule and has performed at renowned venues like Olympia (Paris), the Royal Festival Hall (London), Town Hall (New York City), the Ace Theatre Hotel (Los Angeles), and the main stage at the Festival International de Jazz de Montreal. She will be joined by a stellar ensemble, including Ben Rosenblum on piano and accordion, Marty Jaffe on bass, and drummer Ben Zweig.
The Laura Anglade Quartet will perform their own arrangements drawing from the Great American Songbook as well as some French classics inspired by Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Carmen McRae, Barbra Streisand and more.
“Laura has studied all the great vocal stylists of the last century. And yet she imitates no one. Her pure tone, sparing use of vibrato, and total lack of affectation are almost startling when you first hear her, because you feel convinced that no singer has ever been so absolutely honest with you.”
—David Noel Edwards, The Berkshire Edge
