Dominique Eade

Dominique Eade is one of the most all-around musicians we know. She writes, arranges, teaches and performs with musicians ranging from Fred Hersch to Anthony Braxton. Hers is not pop-jazz, blues-jazz, or any watered-down format, but real jazz singing, full of swing, passion and originality.

"[A singer] that you hear once in a lifetime. Dominique is on the cutting edge of tomorrow's improvisations." Ran Blake

"She lets her talent unfold before you like a bolt of raw silk, humble and resplendent at the same time." Stephanie Zacharek, Boston Phoenix

"She's close to perfection." Michael G. Nastos, Ann Arbor News

"One could say she's the little sister of Sarah and Ella." Serge Baudot, Jazz-Hot

My Resistance is Low (AC-3925)

This October '95 release finds Eade accompanied by pianist Bruce Barth, drummer Lewis Nash and the incomparable bassist George Mraz.

"Singer Dominique Eade boasts a dark and enveloping alto, a penchant for melodic risks, and the ability to resolve them with assurance and grace. On her impressive second album, she covers obscure gems, writes intriguing originals, and swings ballads into deep, delicious grooves." The New Yorker

"Dominique Eade circumvents the sophomore jinx on her second outing...her choices of sidemen are as right-on as the song selection...Eade is so harmonically skilled, so secure in her interpretations,that she never over-emotes or purveys pseudo-soul."
Gene Kalbacher, College Media Journal (CMJ)
