Since 1996\, the woman Time Out Chicago calls “a jazz dynamo” and “a gem in the city’s vocal jazz scene” has been turning heads and capturing attention at venerable jazz venues from coast to coast\, bringing her unique\, superlative interpretations to vintage vocal classics and modern standards alike.

She possesses all the musicality you could want in a true jazz vocalist: centered intonation\, an enviable command of rhythm and a translucent but powerful instrument.” \n\n\n\n\nElaine Dame – vocals\nTom Vaitsas – piano\nEric Hochberg – bass\nBob Rummage – drums \n\n\n\n\nElaine\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInstagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact: Sophie on Instagram @sophiegrimminthehouse
