Details:
Bay Area jazz vocalist Laura Karst has performed frequently as both a soloist and as part of vocal jazz groups. She has studied solo jazz voice with the legendary Roger Letson for many years, and had the honor of singing in the award-winning 6-member vocal jazz ensemble Vocal Flight under Letson’s direction. This group, consisting of three male and three female vocalists, won two major national awards during Laura’s tenure with them: they took First Place at the 2007 Reno Jazz Festival, and their album "Make the Move" won Downbeat Magazine’s 2008 “Outstanding Performance” award.
Laura has also studied with Madeline Eastman, as well as with renowned European jazz vocalists Thierry Péala and Laurence Saltiel in master classes in France. She is experienced as a solo performer, having gigged in a number of Bay Area jazz venues, including Tarragon in Sunnyvale, Sumika in Los Altos, the Fairmont San Jose''s elegant Lobby Lounge, and the Octavia Lounge in San Francisco.
Her solo album, "Little Did I Dream" (released January 2010), was recorded with some of the Bay Area’s finest jazz musicians: Adam Shulman on piano, Doug Pohorski on acoustic bass, Joey Niehuis on drums, and Jim Schneider on tenor saxophone. The CD comprises 11 songs that showcase Laura’s warm, alto voice, and her talent for singing in a wide range of jazz styles, and in a variety of languages. The album includes swing, scat, bossa nova, samba, waltz, and ballads — tunes ranging from the 1940s to the new millennium — sung in English, French, and Portuguese.
