Rarely does a singer come along in whom virtuosity meets sensitivity. Jo Lawry at once tests the limits of technical facility and explores the furthest reaches of musical expression. Her music, steeped in the jazz tradition without being constrained by its traditional forms and functions, demonstrates a unique combination of maturity and inventiveness.
Jo Lawry’s debut album I Want to Be Happy was released in 2008 to rave reviews and named among the “Best CDs of the Decade” in Downbeat Magazine. In addition to working with her own quintet, Jo is the vocalist for the Fred Hersch Pocket Orchestra, a quartet whose album, Live at Jazz Standard was recently released on Sunnyside Records. Jo is also a member of the Irish/Brazilian/Jazz quartet, James Shipp’s Nós Novo, providing lead vocals, fiddle, mandolin and melodica. This group recently released their debut CD Strange Sweethearts in America, which the New York Times called "a striking new album... which advances a jazz-based take on traditional Celtic music." Jo has been featured as a guest on numerous recordings; stand-outs include Dr. Lonnie Smith’s album Rise Up! and Kate McGarry’s Grammy-nominated If Less is More… Nothing is Everything.
