Linda Carone
Vintage Jazz and Blues Vocalist from Toronto, Canada.
An early passion for jazz and blues developed upon first hearing the raw and emotive melancholy of Billie Holiday. This inspiration laid the foundation for growth as a vocalist and as an artist. Linda’s musical journey was further influenced by jazz and blues vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Mildred Bailey, Helen Humes, Valaida Snow and Lil Hardin Armstrong

”Plenty of jazz vocalists have great voices. Many of them explore the treausres of the
Great American Songbook. Linda Carone gets full marks for both and makes it all
infinitely more interesting by interpreting far from exploited gems from the jazz/blues
oeuvre, going right back to the 1920s. Who knew there were so many relatively
under-heard tunes? In the hands of a wonderful singer and a first class team of
players, these old songs perform the seemingly contradictory feat of blasting new life
into an established genre”
