Dominique Eade Biography
Poetic and passionate, American jazz vocalist, composer, and educator Dominique Eade combines technical virtuosity with a songwriter’s straightforward emotional sensibility, creating music garnering critical acclaim, inspiring audiences, and becoming a creative signpost for generations of vocalists. The New York Times called Eade “an exceptional singer,” one “who weighs a chanteuse’s coolness against a jazz musician’s exploratory instincts.” The Atlantic Monthly recognized Eade for her “rich voice and effortless delivery,” while The Boston Phoenix called her music “sublime and daring.” Eade has performed at major festivals, as well as at choice concert halls and nightclubs throughout the United States, Latin America, and Europe, including the Buenos Aires Jazz Festival, the Bell Atlantic Jazz Festival, The Rigas Ritma Jazz Festival, Mountain Stage, the Panama Jazz Festival, the Molde International Jazz Festival, the What is Jazz Festival, Los Angeles’ The Jazz Bakery and New York’s famed clubs The Blue Note and The Jazz Standard.
Deemed “a fearless collaborator” by pianist Fred Hersch, her musical associations have ranged from Alan Dawson, and Stanley Cowell to MacArthur grant recipients Ran Blake and Anthony Braxton. In 2017, NPR jazz critic Nate Chinen listed Blake and Eade’s performance of music from their critically acclaimed album Town and Country (Sunnyside) as one of the Top Ten Jazz Performances of the Year. Eade has recorded and co-produced seven CDs under her name, including two for the RCA Victor label, landing her on Top Ten lists at Billboard, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, DownBeat magazine, and elsewhere. She was nominated for Best Debut Artist in the 1998 First Annual Jazz Awards in New York City and received the 2006 Outstanding Alumni Award at New England Conservatory, where, as a teacher, she has mentored an array of talented students, including Roberta Gambarini, Michael Mayo, Rachael Price, Jorge Roeder, Sarah Jarosz, Luciana Souza, and many others.
