“ …what a big sound. At last…..a PROPER new British Jazz singer". Mark Cotgrove (Snowboy)
“I don‘t think I‘ve heard a better jazz voice in this country.” Blues and Soul Magazine
“A totally genuine jazz performer…a perfect lesson in feeling and phrasing.” The Jazz Rag
“Watch out for Louise Parker!” Just Jazz
“Sweetly soulful jazz vocals.” Jazzwise Magazine

Growing up in a house filled with music, from the folk, calypso and opera enjoyed by her Jamaican born mother to the trad, swing and be-bop from her jazz-obsessed father, vocalist Louise Parker, aptly named after Louis Armstrong, was born to create the sort of soulful sound that is earning her a great reputation in the jazz world.
A big hit on the festival circuit and a regular on Radio 2’s Best of Jazz, Louise Parker is a powerful live performer and a skilful interpreter of swing, blues and gospel classics. She commits to each song with the warmth, spirit and passion of the great jazz divas.
Combining a potent mix of funk and gospel, Louise blends an effortless rhythmical style with a sweet warm tone and daring scatting to create a performance which truly stirs the soul.
