Биография

As a young immigrant who has brought the real richness of her heritage together with her love for what is truly American, Lucy beautifully sounds out the best expression of the American dream. Since arriving from Armenia eighteen years ago at age 12, Lucy has enriched American jazz with a voice that is clear and strong. With the release of her debut album Blue Heaven ( Cellar Live Records, 2019) critics and musicians agree that a new vocal force has arrived on the scene. Yeghiazaryan has established herself as a leading voice in the world of straight ahead vocal jazz. She tours domestically and internationally and is a recipient of various grants from Chamber Music America, Doris Duke Foundation, South Arts and the New York Foundation for the Arts. She has shared the stage with Grant Stewart, Harold Mabern, Houston Person, Bernadette Peters, Rodney Whitaker, Arto Tuncboyaijian, Steve Williams and many more. She was a top ten finalist in the 2015 Thelonious Monk Competition and holds a degree in World History in addition to being a skilled classical violinist. Her upcoming LP, In Her Words, is a spellbinding collaboration with Vanisha Gould and will present an honest, open-hearted portrait of issues in women’s private lives, pairing a set of Gould’s compositions with carefully chosen selections from across jazz history. "Lucy possesses an engaging tone with a warm flair of musical diplomacy. As smooth as maple syrup on pancakes!" - Johnny O'Neal
