What Is Jazz? Is Laufey Jazz?

My daughter (18) begged me to go to a Laufey concert here locally about a month ago.  I had never heard of Laufey, but went to the concert with my kiddo.  Other than it being an outdoor concert in 100 degrees, I found it quite enjoyable. I was refreshed and pleasantly surprised to see so many young people there. You can debate whether Laufey is “true” jazz or not, but it’s undeniable that she’s light years ahead of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift or the like.  Indeed, I found Laufey to be a very talented musician, and rather enjoyable to listen to.

That is what matters.

I hope she can convince others that the jazz "standards" she sings are much more than elevator music.

Jazz is alive and well, and this is yet another wonderful color added to All the Colors of Jazz.

 

Thank you for sharing.
