Ilana Waldston and The Jazz 'N' Laughs Band
March 29 @ 8:00 PM

Ilana Waldston - Vocals
Rob Thaller - Piano
Pat Collins - Bass

Ilana Waldston is not merely a singer but also a consummate storyteller,  bringing her extensive theatre training into the world of jazz music. Whether  she’s breaking your heart with a beautiful ballad, moving you out of your seat  with a swinging standard, or tickling your funny bone with the unusual comedic  songs for which she’s best known, an evening with Ilana and the Jazz ‘n’ Laughs  Band is a guaranteed good time.  

Joining her at the Rex will be Rob Thaller on piano, and Pat Collins on bass…  there may be some surprise guests as well! 

“Ilana Waldston combines a smooth, rich voice with the lightness that comes  from her natural wit, and then mixes it all in with some of the most fantastic  unearthed gems of the Great American Songbook to create a highly entertaining  experience. So much fun!”  

- Heather Bambrick, Juno-nominated Jazz Vocalist and broadcaster 

"Often humorous songs may be humorous, but don’t sound like real songs.  These are the whole package! They’re now in the Radio Deluxe library, ready to  be called upon. I also enjoyed your standards. It’s an all-around excellent album.”  – Don McCulloch, Radio Deluxe
