Carla Cook \u2014 Classic Jazz, Blues, and Soul from Detroit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Carla Cook<\/strong> is a bold singer and songwriter who blends the interpretation of jazz standards with her own open and distinctive vision. A Grammy nominee for Best Jazz Vocal Performance and recipient of the AFIM Indie Award for Best Jazz Voice, she has crafted a sophisticated yet earthy voice that reflects the musical richness of her hometown, Detroit, merging jazz, R&B, blues, gospel, Motown, and European classical music.<\/p>\n

For over 14 years, she has recorded multiple albums for the MAXJAZZ label, earning critical acclaim for her ability to breathe new life into songs beyond the traditional jazz repertoire. Her style combines audacity, elegance, and musicality, as John Murph<\/strong> of The Washington Post<\/em> notes: \u201cShe has a boldness that enlivens her impeccable diction and a tremendous soul that allows her to strut with visceral delicacy, all backed by sparkling optimism and innocence.\u201d Daniel Okrent in TIME adds: \u201cShe\u2019s neither a fresh-faced blonde nor a runaway teenager, so Carla Cook might seem to face a difficult path in today\u2019s jazz landscape. But she knows how to sing \u2014 really sing. Cook knows how to cook!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Cook<\/strong> surrounds herself with exceptional musicians who elevate her artistry: Bruce Barth<\/strong> on piano, Mark Hodgson<\/strong> on double bass, and Stephen Keogh<\/strong> on drums. Together, they create an environment where the singer can fully express her sophistication and range, balancing vocal freedom with the strength and sensitivity of the group.<\/p>\n

Her music not only honors jazz tradition but expands it, transforming each piece into an intense, intimate experience where every note and phrase conveys emotion and authenticity.<\/p>\n

Why you shouldn\u2019t miss her:<\/strong>
Because Carla Cook<\/strong> delivers a unique and inimitable voice that fuses classic jazz, blues, and the soul of Detroit, supported by a quartet that listens, accompanies, and enhances every performance with precision and warmth, creating a show full of power, elegance, and emotion.<\/p>\n

The Global Music Foundation<\/span><\/span><\/strong> presents the GMF Barcelona Jazz Workshop 2026<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, a musical celebration combining jazz, blues, and Latin music in concerts, workshops, and late-night sessions with world-class artists.<\/p>\n
