Chanda Rule is coming back to Ladbroke Hall after last year’s brilliant performance, a mix of soulfully arranged American work songs, blues, gospel favourites, jazz standards and originals. She’s described as “compelling and distinctive” by London Jazz News and “a fun ride of creative jazz” by The Jazz Word. Blues Blast Magazine wrote: “Expressive vocals, cool arrangements and beautiful musicianship make this an extraordinary album….She [Chanda Rule] and her band are the real deal!”
Born in between the off beats, and bump and grind of the Disco-Funk Era in Chicago, Chanda has been weaving stories through song, humming melodies, and bending words since her childhood.
Her “bewitching voice,” as described by the Baltic Times, has a flexibility and range that has graced a variety of musical projects: from her latest project, “Sapphire Dreams” recorded with the legendary Kirk Lightsey, “Feeling Good: A Tribute to Nina Simone“ where she was featured with sax powerhouse Donny McCaslin, gospel fests and workshops with the Golden Gospel Singers, and concerts with the Outreach Orchestra, to appearing as a featured vocalist on Ö1 “Jazznacht,” tours with Zimbabwe’s Nobuntu and sharing her song and sound with digital performance art projects and folkloric dance companies.
“Her powerful voice is characterized by superb diction…heartfelt intonation…and often aching beauty.”
