Blackhawk Live is pleased to present Linda Angelis in concert with a group
of musicians for a special evening of music. Angelis is a British vocalist
and flugelhorn player whose music is influenced by her studies of eastern
philosophy and meditation. She began her musical career as a student at Royal
Northern College and played in the Manchester Youth Big Band. She began building
up her jazz repertoire and worked for about 8 years singing Jazz standards
for Cunard and Royal Viking cruise lines. She gained great exposure in Europe
performing in over 30 countries and it led to more exposure back in England.
where she was invited to sing at a party for Prince Charles.
Her voice is bright and pure like crystal and her flugelhorn style is relaxed
and mellow. For her CD Lady of Light, she sought and received permission
from Freddie Hubbard to write lyrics adn record a new version of his classic
song "Little Sunflower". Her version entitled "Flower
of Light" earned her the attention of FM Jazz radio stations in America.
