Colvin Concerts: Alyssa Allgood Trio
Alyssa Allgood - voice
Tom Vaitsas - piano
Ethan Philion - bass
Alyssa Allgood is an award-winning jazz vocalist, composer, arranger and educator with a compelling voice in the modern jazz landscape.
Described as “assured and daring” by Downbeat Magazine and “a model of sophisticated song interpretation” by the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago-based artist boldly weaves soulful storytelling and rich improvisational language through original compositions, captivating arrangements and a lyrical focus of self-love and human connection. She won the Inaugural Ella Fitzgerald Competition (2017) and the David Baker Memorial Scholarship (2022) through the Jazz Education Network.
Named “Best Jazz Entertainer” in the Chicago Music Awards, Allgood has performed at many distinguished venues including Jazz at Lincoln Center in Shanghai, Shadboldt Centre for the Arts in British Columbia, Birdland Jazz Club in New York, the Chicago Jazz Festival, Green Mill and Jazz Showcase in Chicago, Noce Jazz Club in Des Moines and the Origins Jazz Series in Lexington.
Allgood’s exhilarating fourth album, “From Here”, recently released on Next Records. Recorded with internationally renowned musicians John Patitucci, Kendrick Scott, Geoffrey Keezer and Greg Ward, the album features 10 original songs that showcase a modern approach to jazz singing with musical interaction and vocal freedom at its core. Allgood’s previous albums garnered praise for her lyrical expression, instrumental approach and accomplished scat and vocalese singing.
