Laura Chiara Impallomeni is British Italian jazz musician, trombonist, composer and band leader. Laurie Milton on keyboards
James Akers on Tenor Saxophone
King David Ike-Elechi on Drums
Ezekiel Ajie on Double and electric bass
She brings the trombone to the fore, with an exciting collection of her original contemporary jazz compositions. Her music encapsulates her broad range of influences from hints of hard bop to Ethio jazz, whilst rhymically exploring odd meters to bass heavy grooves.
In November 2022, she debuted some of these compositions at London Jazz Festival 2022 in a sold out performance. She went on to share her full body of work at the Royal Albert Hall in January this year and was awarded a grant from Help Musicians, to record her debut contemporary jazz album which she has just done (literally last week!), at Livingstone Studios in London with Mercury Prize Winning Engineer/Producer, Sonny Johns.
She will perform her compositions with some of the UK’s most formidable jazz musicians. Featuring Laurie Milton on keyboards, James Akers on Tenor Saxophone, King David Ike-Elechi on Drums, Ezekiel Ajie on Double and electric bass, and Laura on Trombone.
Laura is also the musical director, co-composer and trombonist of an original 11 piece afro jazz band ‘Yamäya’, who performed on the Supreme Standards stage at the Love Supreme Festival 2023 after releasing their debut album Senegal on Funkiwala Records last year.
She has performed and toured with various renowned artists such as First Aid Kit, The Moulettes, Public Service Broadcasting, Giffords Circus, Janet Kay and Ken Boothe. She is also the trombonist for Rootsgarden Dub Sound System, The Voodoo Love Orchestra and Barnacles. She also works for London music charity ‘Play for Progress’ as a therapeutic music teacher/workshop leader with young asylum seekers and refugees.
