LaVon Hardison sings jazz standards, and her own eclectic, compelling arrangements of popular songs. But really, she is more than a singer; she's a great, musical storyteller who connects an audience to the music in ways that awaken new depths of understanding and feeling. LaVon is mesmerizing, and she's an ambassador of joy.
Past Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year, LaVon has also brought her warm, glossy sound to opera, musical theater, sacred music, and vintage swing. Her solo albums and collaborations reflect this diversity, with original compositions brushing shoulders with covers of songs by The Clash, The Beatles, and Katy Perry as well as jazz standards by Fats Waller and Duke Ellington.
“A stylishly eclectic singer, Hardison is an artist for whom the song is king. She’s the type of interpreter who knows how to put across the emotion and subtlety in a melody without overselling it, and she has a talent for getting inside the story that each song tells.” — Andrew Luthringer, Earshot Jazz
Accompanied by South Sound Express - Eugene Bien on piano, Osama Afifi on bass, and Craig Cootsona on drums.
