Elijah Hartman (vocals) brings a youthful revival to jazz standards from the 20s-60s. The multi-lingual singer is a rising star in the New Orleans jazz scene—an arranger, lyricist, and captivating performer who seamlessly blends his New York-Puerto Rican roots with the rich influences of New Orleans and Paris which offers a deep understanding of many genres, which crafts a unique sound that’s all his own, Elijah is a talented vocalist and scat singer; and is heavily influenced by the bebop era of jazz and takes inspiration from Judy Garland, Tony Bennett, Donna Summer, and Celia Cruz. He doesn’t just echo the past; he brings jazz into the present, creating a connection with his audience that’s both nostalgic and new. Watch Elijah as he transports you back to the golden era of Black American Music, while simultaneously pushing the genre forward with every performance.
