vocalsAbout
Lauren Hooker moved to the Valley from the New York Metropolitan area to be closer to family. She is not just a singer, she is a consummate musician, known as a multi-talented vocalist, instrumentalist, composer, lyricist, educator, producer and storyteller via her Arts in Education Company: Musical Legends. Out of a flood of rave reviews regarding her critically acclaimed CDs, JAZZ TIMES writes … “undeniably impressive… certainly imaginative… can hold her own against pretty much any singer- songwriter in the business… ability to add lyrics to instrumental classics (to Monk, Mal Waldron, Wayne Shorter, Fats Waller) … is flat-out masterful.” JAZZ IMPROV NY says … “a skilled scatter, talented lyricist and songwriter…intriguing, impressive.” and ALL ABOUT JAZZ LA states … “Here’s a vocalist that is going to knock you off your chair… hits a double off the wall… her voice – rich, confident and assured – like Dianne Reeves, pitch perfect.” Once you hear her, you’ll know why there is so much to rave about.
