SONGS FOR MODERN LOVERS is Laura's new project. While the repertoire is broad, it is still rooted in the best of jazz. Inspired by the iconic Frank Sinatra album ‘Songs for Swinging Lovers’, Laura’s latest project is a fresh take on an old theme. New arrangements of the original tracks are complimented by an eclectic array of contemporary love songs that Laura grew up with. Tunes by the likes of Joe Jackson, Sam Brown, Elvis Costello, Paul Weller and even Journey have been arranged by some of the country’s leading jazz musicians. Starting with first song memories, we all go on to develop a personal catalogue of favourite tunes.  Songs for Modern Lovers is one such journey.
