  • Consummate jazz vocalist Laura Zakian returns to The Crazy Coqs with her accomplished band of Steve Lodder on piano, Andy Hammill on bass and Nic France on drums.

    For this set Laura will perform songs from her back catalogue of releases and will blend classic standards with her own compositions. Immerse yourself in an evocative musical soundscape which weaves classic jazz, Americana and contemporary influences with Laura’s wry, insightful and deeply personal lyrics.

    Her recently released album “Dreaming Life” was an entirely original set of mesmerising contemporary jazz. Laura launched her new album in 2022 with a sold out gig at Pizza Express Dean Street. The album is the latest in her established collaboration with critically acclaimed composer and percussionist Martin Pyne.

    “Powerful… enthralling… Much of the pleasure in this beautifully understated and reflective music is the complex emotions imparted in Laura’s voice that can at once be strong, and then show a vulnerable fragility.” – Nick Lea, Jazz Views

    “Zakian swings effortlessly, combines a lightness of touch with a deep reservoir of power and control, and most importantly – always draws the listener into the song’s lyric.” – Peter Quinn, Jazzwise (in reference to the album “Just One of Those Things”

    “Flawless articulation and ability to put any kind of song over in a style that is all her own” – EuroclubdeJazz, Mike Cooke
