スモーキーな歌声で人気の女性ジャズシンガー
約6年ぶりとなる最新アルバムを携え待望の来日！

約6年ぶりとなるスタジオ・レコーディング・アルバム『ドリームズ・ロスト・アンド・ファウンド』を、この4月にリリース。ジャズ・ヴォーカル界を牽引するひとり、ヘイリー・ロレンが2018年以来となるコットンクラブ公演を開催する。11～12歳頃にダイアナ・クラールに深く影響を受け、15歳でプロ活動を開始。伝統的なジャズにポップスの要素を取り入れた音楽スタイルで話題を集め、日本では2008年のアルバム『青い影』で大ブレイクを果たした。最新作ではジャズのスタンダード・ナンバー、ザ・ビートルズやジョニ・ミッチェルといったロック/ポップス畑の名曲たち、そしてオリジナル曲を艶やかな歌声で披露。さらに深みを加えたヘイリーの最新ステージを見逃すわけにはいかない。

This collection of songs explores themes of longing, seeking, and seeing with new eyes — the falling away of old illusions and outgrown desires, finding new visions for love and life, allowing some dreams to die to make space for new dreams to be born.

The album captures the live essence of her music, that has led to tours and performances for
audiences worldwide. The 14-song effort sees Halie lend her take on standards, originals, and
her personal favorites. 

Halie adds: “This album marks my return to a more jazz-oriented musical sound, but forged in a
completely new environment of creativity (quite literally, in that I traveled to Montreal to record
for the first time) that brought my improvisational spirit to the forefront—in no small part inspired
by collaborating with masterful musicians Taurey Butler on piano, Morgan Moore on bass, Sam
Kirmayer on Guitar, and Jim Doxas on drums. Though I have performed for years with most of
these amazingly talented people, we’ve never before recorded together… to me, it was like we
were dancing on the edge of the unknown when creating these songs. It felt very alive in the
moment, and I think that comes through the music”

Bring in 2024 with symphonic renditions of American Songbook classics, and even a few Loren original songs, with the ESO and maestro Francesco Lecce-Chong. Pianist Alexandre Dossin joins in as featured soloist for “Rhapsody in Blue” in celebration of the composition’s 100th anniversary.

This month, the annual Nature of Gratitude event is returning yet again to Tsunami Books in Eugene, OR on Sunday, November 12, and making its way to Corvallis, OR for its debut at the Corvallis Public Library on Wednesday, November 15. Featuring music and readings by an array of Oregonian creatives — including musicians Halie Loren, Beth Wood, Don Latarski, and Heather Hutton, as well as spoken word poetry by Jorah LaFleur and readings by authors Tom Titus, Eric Alan, and others — these events center themes of “gratitude” from complex perspectives… sometimes funny, sometimes gritty, often tender, and always deeply human.

For more information about each event, visit the Shows page.

After the Nature of Gratitude wraps up on November 12 in Eugene, there will be an evening concert event featuring two of its participants: Halie Loren and Beth Wood. These two singer-songwriters will perform a double-bill show on the Tsunami Books stage, sharing mostly original songs in a cozy listening room environment. For more info, and to purchase tickets for this concert, visit Halie’s Shows page or the event page at https://www.tsunamibooks.org/events-calendar/2023/beth-halie
