New York, NY - Jazz vocalist, Sofia Laiti is pleased to announce her return to the stage with two appearances Thursday September 12th & 26th, 2002 at the Delta Lounge (downstairs from Dias Restaurant) 103 West 77th St. (at Columbus Ave.) 212-721-6603.
In an age of cookie-cutter jazz singers, Sofia Laiti is utterly distinctive. Her voice at once husky and silken, intimate and exotic has won her the praise of critics, the affection of audiences, and the collaboration of such musicians as John Hicks, Craig Handy, John Stubblefield, James Weidman, Ray Drummond, and Houston Person. Fans eager to hear the next turn in this extraordinary jazz odyssey have welcomed her return to the stage in 2002 after six years of full-time motherhood.
Born in Utsjoki, Finland a small town in Lapland, north of the Arctic Circle Sofia began singing as soon as she could talk. As a teenager she acquired a solid classical training at the Music Conservatory of Kuopio, but soon came under the spell of jazz. Billie Holiday
