Brings 'New Vintage' Style
to The Metropolitan Room

Laura Ainsworth grew up watching her dad, renowned big band musician Billy Ainsworth, back such idols as Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and
Mel Torme. Today, she keeps the family tradition alive in a style
critics have dubbed "new vintage." She freely mixes classic lounge jazz
with modern touches to create her own unique twist on standards and lost
gems of the Great American Songbook, as well as new songs in that
elegant style. Her albums "Keep It To Yourself" and "Necessary Evil"
have earned critical raves and worldwide airplay. She has sung from Las
Vegas to India, and her sultry, satiny, three-octave voice has been
compared to such mid-century chanteuses as Dinah Shore, Julie London and Jo Stafford.
The Metropolitan Room, New York's premier cabaret/jazz showroom, is proud to present the New York solo debut of this elegant Texas songbird, in celebration of the August release of her highly-anticipated third CD, "New Vintage"; a "best of" audiophile vinyl LP titled "Top Shelf"; and her appearance on "This Is Vintage Now, Vol. 2," the latest in the popular CD compilation series. Accompanying her will be her producer/jazz pianist extraordinaire and Sammons Center for the Arts "Dallas Jazz Musician of the Year" Brian Piper of the 'Nawlins Gumbo Kings and Jerry Jeff Walker's Gonzo Compadres Band.
