If you told me that Laura Anglade was a jazz vocalist from the peak of the 20th century jazz movement, I would have taken you at face value. Winner of the 2026 JUNO Vocal Jazz Album of the Year, Laura has a voice like none other. Whether jazz is your forte or not, I think every can stand to appreciate the smoothness and relaxing nature of the musical subculture that has laid the foundation for many of our modern genres.

Jazz has certainly fallen out of the lens of wider society since its heights of the 20th century, but if you are interested, this album would be a wonderful introduction into some of the best of the genre. If you are interesting in more iconic Canadian jazz musicians, Oscar Peterson is one of the iconics not only of Canada, but of the entire genre.

Laura Anglade was born in Montpelier, France, raised in Connecticut, but has lived in Montreal for nearly a decade since the age of 18. She now pursues her music career living in New York City, the cultural mecca of Jazz musicians.
