Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series presents the Alyssa Allgood Quartet!
Featuring Alyssa Allgood, vocals, Dan Chase, organ, Matt Plaskota, drums, and Tim Fitzgerald, guitar. Chicago-based jazz vocalist Alyssa Allgood has been described by jazz historian Scott Yanow as one of the top up-and-coming jazz singers around today.
Chicago-based singer Alyssa Allgood is an exciting new voice in vocal jazz, offering a unique interpretation of the repertoire with vocal improvisation and arranging.
She completed her Bachelor of Arts in Jazz Studies from North Central College in Naperville, IL, where she won the coveted Downbeat Magazine Student Music Award for Best Collegiate Vocal Jazz Soloist in 2014. She was recently named a 2016 Jazz Fellow through the Luminarts Cultural Organization in Chicago and the second place winner in the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Jazz Voice Competition. She also placed as a top ten semifinalist in the 2015 Shure Montreux Jazz Voice Competition; where she competed live in Switzerland for a jury presided by jazz legend Al Jarred. Alyssas debut EP Lady Bird was named a Best Release of 2015 on All About Jazz and it was hailed as the most refined offering in the genre yet. The Chicago Jazz Magazine highly recommends this debut recording and described it as a wonderful exploration of the lost art of bebop vocalese. Alyssa was applauded for the delightful arrangements, command and superbly delivered approach that was showcased on the recording. Alyssa is working on her first full-length album, which is set to release in the fall of 2016.
Alyssa has performed at a number of venues in Chicago, including the Jazz Showcase, Fitzgeralds, Jerrys, The High-Hat Club, Pete Millers and The House Pub. She has also appeared as a special guest with groups at Andys Jazz Club and The Taste of Chicago.
