Featuring fresh reimagining of jazz classics and hidden gems\, Elaine will be supported by an intimate jazz ensemble. \nElaine Dame sings – and people stop and listen. 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. Elaine worked for years in Chicago’s theater scene before turning her whole focus to jazz. It’s no wonder the Chicago Reader wrote “Ms. Dame has a winning stage presence and chameleon-like vocal flexibility.” Neil Tesser\, Grammy award-winning jazz critic and author of The Playboy Guide to Jazz said\, “Dame has risen to the top ranks of Chicago jazz singers. 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
