Vintage Jazz Vocalist Ali

Awarded Best Jazz Vocalist in Scotland 2013 by the Scottish Jazz Federation, Ali has built a prestigious reputation as the essential vocalist for genuine vintage jazz and blues. Having resided in the USA for 16 years and toured the country performing, she has compiled an impressive collection of Jazz standards, along with rare old Southern Blues—songs that are seldom heard outside of the Crescent City of New Orleans itself.

Her dynamic performances are both sensitive and passionate, offering fresh interpretations while remaining true to the essence of the songs. Whether performing solo or with a band, her repertoire includes a vibrant mix of 1920s to 1950s jazz, featuring well-known standards and rare, forgotten treasures from early Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Fats Waller, Annette Hanshaw, and Ethel Waters. With frequent comparisons to June Christy and Peggy Lee, Ali’s authentic performances will infuse your event with an atmosphere of sophistication and elegance.
