L. Zaide Jazz Singer from Chicago, IL

L.Zaide excites his audience with his youthful, yet classy and seductive approach to the Great American Classics. He infuses both his edgy vibe and his love of romance into his performance, encouraging all of us to come into his world of "chill." L.Zaide is a velvet-voiced singer, embracing, with reverence, the jazz classics in the "cool-skool." His vocal delivery has been compared to trumpeter/vocalist Chet Baker's — a cool, smooth flow, a relaxed and effortless croon. The similarity is there, but he's much better technically, and a whole bunch deeper emotionally; also mix in some whispery Joao Gilberto gentleness.
