Vanisha Gould & Chris Andersen Quartet
Vanisha Gould brings a voice of great warmth and precision to the stage. The New York-based singer draws from the legacy of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Carmen McRae, and Ella Fitzgerald – her interpretations combine crystal-clear articulation with emotional depth. Downbeat Magazine describes her as a "modern artist with an old soul," whose singing is filled with humor, knowledge, and pathos.
On her European tour, Gould presents her repertoire together with the Chris Andersen Quartet. The band has already toured through Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia and captivates audiences with heartfelt, musically complex concerts. Her albums "Life's a Gig" (duo with pianist Chris McCarthy) and the latest quartet album "She's Not Shiny, She's Not Smooth" document her artistic development.
