ANGELA
BINGHAM
BIOGRAPHY
In March, 2004,
Angela Bingham released her debut album, Everything I Love,
showing that the qualities of simplicity and honest expression are
alive and well in jazz singing.
Fans of jazz are captivated by this singer. According to a review
written by David R. Halliday, an independent music critic and
twenty-year veteran of west coast jazz radio:
”She phrases
conversationally, making the lyrics her own and creating the
impression that she’s speaking her mind – and heart – directly to
you, as if the two of you were conversing over cocktails or an
intimate supper – without sacrificing any of a song’s musical
interest.”
“When Angela steps
onto the stage, the instrumentalists respond with the same genuine
enthusiasm and respect with which they would greet a bad-ass horn
player.”
A native of the
San Francisco Bay Area, Bingham grew up in San Jose and Los Gatos,
and studied jazz with the noted vocal professor Roger Letson at De
Anza College in Cupertino, California. She attended San Francisco
State University, then relocated to Salt Lake City, Utah in 1999 to
pursue a career in the American art business.
Nearly seven years working in the community of Salt Lake City gave
Bingham ample opportunity to realize her viability as a jazz
singer. There, she earned a solid reputation as one of the most
in-demand vocalists in Utah, and spent most of her time working
within the small, yet talented pool of Utah musicians.
Bingham relocated
to New York City in the fall of 2005 and is playing regularly
throughout the city.
Everything I Love
has sold out throughout the United States and internationally and is
currently in its second pressing.
