Laura Anglade brings a jazz-vocal set to Birdland in Manhattan on December 6. The available listing identifies Anglade as the billed artist, but gives no detail on the evening’s repertoire, accompanying musicians, guests, or whether she will appear solo or with a band.
Originally from Brousse-le-Château in southern France, Anglade is a jazz vocalist whose current base has been described as both Montreal and Brooklyn. Nettwerk calls her a “storyteller” with a “refined interpretive style.” Her 2025 album Get Out of Town won the JUNO Award for Best Vocal Jazz Album. Anglade has performed with pianist Joey Alexander and has also appeared in Birdland’s Flying High: Still Soaring, a program tracing music by women who began in big bands before becoming solo artists. For that presentation, she joined fellow vocalists Champian Fulton and Imani Rouselle with piano, bass, and drums.
Birdland offers a refined jazz experience in a room where the audience sits at tables close to the stage, allowing every note to reach you clearly. The venue features a full menu with dishes like New Orleans-style gumbo alongside a well-stocked bar, making it easy to enjoy a meal or drinks while listening. Each show is ticketed per set, encouraging focused listening as the music unfolds in roughly 45-minute segments. The club’s walls echo decades of jazz history, having hosted legends and continuing to attract top contemporary artists. Located in Manhattan’s Theater District, the space balances a serious music environment with the energy of a night out, where attentive audiences savor the performances without distraction. Booking ahead is essential, as the club fills quickly for its celebrated lineup.
