Linda Szentes and Jazzlinks is a jazz combo made up of friends who are also lovers of jazz, both vocal and instrumental. The group has a fondness for songs with lyrics that last and melodies to match; the focus of the their program is love, but love in a variety of moods and attitudes ranging from earnestness to irony and ambiguity.
Linda is an accomplished and versatile singer in many genres who has loved and listened to jazz throughout her life; she started studying in earnest with Bob Murphy, the great Canadian jazz pianist, in 2013. Linda is a musician and a singer: combined with her lyrical, flexible voice and consistent swing feel, she is a natural improviser.
This group is distinctive for two reasons: it successfully interprets a wide repertoire – vocal and instrumental jazz hits from the 20’s/30’s to the 70’s – and a diversity of styles within the jazz genre: classic jazz standards, blues-inflected jazz, latin/bossa, bop, and 70’s funk. Jazzlinks also has a distinctive sound which comes from working with the same personnel consistently; warm and blues-oriented with an infectious swing feel and melodic improvising.
