Local jazz piano angel Laura Caviani is perhaps best known for her studies of Thelonious Monk’s angular bebop piano stylings. She has also received a lot of national attention for her several original CDs. Her joyful, buoyant playing and smart, inventive horn and vocal arrangements make her one of the most original pianistic voices in town.

“Laura’s persona and her music overlap seamlessly — simultaneously beautiful, intelligent, searching, graceful, witty, warm, and passionate.”
