Laurent Fourgo and his Ensemble have
been charming music lovers all over the Bay Area with their sweet,
jazzy sound.
The Ensemble (duo, trio, quartet, quintet, or sextet) is comprised
of seasoned professional musicians from San Francisco and the Bay
Area: vocals, piano, upright bass, drums, guitar, accordion, tenor
sax, alto sax, soprano sax, clarinet, flute and trumpet.
Even as a child growing up in Paris, France, vocalist and band leader
Laurent Fourgo exhibited a passion for music. He learned to sing
almost every Elvis song, prior to actually learning to speak English
and knowing the meaning of the words.
It was this passion for American music (Elvis and many others),
combined with a longing for the 'American dream' , that led him
to set his sights on the US and move to San Francisco in 1996.
Having been the vocalist and leader of a band in France, putting
together a group to perform in the US came very naturally to Laurent.
He has been performing in various bands for the last 10 years. Transitioning
from Rock 'n' Roll, Blues, Rhythm and Blues to Jazz, Laurent's repertoire
pays tribute to some of the great American vocalists (such as such
as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, and Nat King Cole)
who inspired him in his youth.
Laurent sings these familiar classic songs with such passion, the
words and melodies will touch your heart as if you were hearing
them for the very first time.
Laurent Fourgo and his Ensemble present a delightful representation
of the history of the great Jazz standards. Melody, sincerity and
passion characterize this band that will ignite the atmosphere of
your event!
