“Carla Cook is a vivacious, genre-fluid singer who can take on an Ellington-penned jewel as easily as she can ‘Scarborough Fair’ or ‘Watermelon Man.’”
-The New Yorker Magazine
Brooklyn-based and Detroit-bred, Carla Cook is a sophisticated jazz singer who finds inspiration in R&B, Motown, pop, gospel and country. Her remarkable voice has earned Cook a Grammy nomination for her debut album, It’s All About Love, and widespread critical acclaim for her two subsequent recordings, Dem Bones, (“an intoxicating album that is as adventurous as it is accessible”) and Simply Natural (“she remains delightfully free of artifice or affectation”), which solidified her reputation as a songwriter as well as a singer.
