Ruth Lambert is a talented and versatile jazz singer based in the north east of England who has established herself in recent years as one of the UK’s most classy and distinctive jazz vocalists. Balancing a voice of warmth and maturity with spark and charisma, Ruth is in her element whether fronting a big band or working with one or two other musicians to create a more intimate vibe.

She was the vocalist with the University’s award winning BAAM Big Band, whose alumni include some of the UK’s biggest jazz names, and was awarded a Special Commendation at the 2000 Boosey and Hawkes Big Band Competition, an honour usually reserved for instrumental soloists.

Ruth then returned to the north east and began carving out a niche for herself as one of the regions most sought after and accomplished jazz singers. She has performed at prestigious venues including The Sage Gateshead, South Shields Customs House, Durham’s Gala Millenium Theatre, the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art and a number of international jazz festivals across the UK, including Glasgow, Gateshead and the Isle of Bute.

Although she is able to extend her enviable range and versatility to an ever-expanding repertoire of close to 200 jazz standards, Ruth prides herself on her improvisational abilityapproaching every song as if for the first time. Her main influences are Julie London, Anita O’Day, Carmen McRae and Chet Baker.
