Alma Zygier has been fascinated by the pre-war era of Jazz: the singers (Ella Fitzgerald, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Memphis Minnie) and the mainly Jewish Broadway composers who largely provided the repertoire (Gershwin, Kern, Porter, Rodgers).
Following in the footsteps of her famous parents, Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier, Alma has a voice from another era and brings an emotional maturity to her performance that belies her years. Performing with a similarly minded group of hot young players she up-dates the American Songbook repertoire for the 21st century.
