Laura Crema’s captivating voice is “unadulterated musical silk, and not to be missed.”
CBC Radio
Distinguished Canadian jazz vocalist, Laura Crema has a purity of tone that can only be achieved by one gifted with a rare natural instrument. She has performed, recorded, and collaborated with some of the finest musicians in Canadian jazz, country, new and improvised music. Laura has recorded six critically acclaimed albums under her name, the most recent is collection of original songs co-created with guitarist, Bill Coon. She has toured and performed across Canada and Europe and has had the great honor to play many of Canada’s most prestigious jazz venues, including The National Art Centre in Ottawa.
Laura Crema has a rare interpretive gift that allows her to inhabit a song and dive deeply into the lyrics of an old standard to suggest new meanings, shades and inferences that have lain dormant until they were lit up by the resonance, depth, and warmth of her voice. Born and raised in Burnaby BC, Laura Crema has performed and recorded with some of the finest musicians in Canadian jazz, country, roots, and new and improvised music. She has toured and performed across Canada and Europe.
Vocalist Laura Crema is a great interpreter of songbook standards as well as Brazilian music, and obscure pieces from her own repertoire. She has a purity of tone that can only be achieved by one gifted with a rare natural instrument.
For this special Hero’s Welcome show, Laura will be joined by Sharon Minemoto, Conrad Good, and Bernie Arai.
