Totally in Awe...
Mar. 10th, 2013 07:58 pmbecause I've just found the online blog, http://laurelmasse.typepad.com/, of Laurel Masse, accent on the final e. Laurel was a founding member of the jazz vocal ensemble, The Manhattan Transfer. She toured internationally and recorded four albums with the group in the seven years before 1978 when she was involved in a near-fatal car accident.
Following a two-year convalescence, she embarked on a solo recording career and has also been active as a teacher, clinician, and member of the professional choir of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. She currently records and tours with the female jazz vocal trio JaLaLa, comprised of herself, fellow founding member of TMT Janis Siegel, and singer Lauren Kinhan from New York Voices.
The YouTube clip which follows is from her days with The Manhattan Transfer. Don'tcha just love the wild, red hair? C'mon, now, remember it was the '70s, LOL...(I don't own any of the rights to this but figure it's a great avenue to let others know about these amazing artists, their lives and careers. In that spirit, please enjoy!)
