When you listen to Laura Fygi singing, you are struck by her fine intonation, her excellent phrasing, her relaxed sense of swing, her clear diction, mellow voice and her sophisticated choice of repertoire. But what impresses most of all is the abundant joy she clearly derives from performing - a joy which she unfailingly communicates to her audience.

In 1995, Laura recorded Turn Out The Lamplight, a collection of fine standards, some familiar and others not so familiar, but worthy of wider appreciation, such as "Still Crazy," "She's No Lady" and "For Once In My Life."

Laura Fyji has drawn her musical inspiration from a wide variety of sources, with Julie London one of her great heroines. She also cites, among the singers for whom she has a high regard, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee and Barbra Streisand and. perhaps more improbably, Gilbert Bécaud, Charles Aznavour and Al Jarreau. When it comes to instrumental Jazz, she is a big fan of Scott Hamilton.

Says Laura: "I like soft Jazz - and I like melodic music. If there is no melody in the music, then forget it. Life is hectic, so I like my music to be relaxing." ~Mike Hennessey
