About
PASSION. ELEGANCE. SOUL.
Laura was classically trained at The Guildhall School of Music in London and focussed her earlier years on opera, before switching over permanently to indulge her deep passion for singing jazz.
With her very distinctive tone, Laura enjoys performing a wonderful mix of jazz standards recorded over the years by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, Anita O’Day, Etta James, Nina Simone and many more . Anything from ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, to latin jazz including ‘Girl From Ipanema’ and ‘Desafinado’, plus some beautiful, less widely recognised, jazz pieces like ‘I Fall In Love Too Easily’, ‘It Could Happen To You’, ‘I’m a Fool To Want You’ and ‘What’s New’.
She also has the privilege of working with some extremely talented jazz musicians including Leon Greening, Danny Moss Jnr, Sam Dunn, Charlie Pyne, Roger Lewin and Start Jackaman. They join her across the South East and London at the many hotels, wineries, bars, restaurants, jazz clubs, event venues (weddings, parties, corporate events etc…) and private venues, where she performs.
