Laura Dreyer on SoundBetter

Highly experienced, versatile, and professional jazz artist based in New York City. I will deliver dynamic, melodic, burning saxophone and flute solos, background arrangements and horn section parts.

I’m a New York based saxophonist, flutist, and composer that specializes in jazz and Brazilian music. My catchy original compositions, which feature my saxophone and flute stylings, combine lyrical melodies with jazz, Brazilian rhythms, funk, and rock, resulting in an exciting, contemporary palette of sound with a strong rhythmic twist. I am extremely versatile and can record solos, background parts, and arrange horn section parts to complement many different genres. In my career, I’ve performed in many idioms from rock, fusion and pop music to jazz, Latin, and Brazilian music. I perform both nationally and internationally with my Brazilian Jazz ensemble, “Laura Dreyer and the Manhattan/Rio Connection,” while additionally being in great demand as a sideperson. I have worked with diverse artists such as Dr. Billy Taylor, Dom Salvador, Helcio Milito, Portinho, Bossa PDX, Walter Bishop Jr., Mel Lewis, Robert Palmer, Nnenna Freelon, saxophonist/author James McBride, “The Diva Jazz Orchestra, and many others. I’ve recorded and produced four CDs as a leader/producer, including Mysterious Encounter (Lavasphere), Free Flying Bird (Sony/Piloo), and Sax in the City (Apria), and Vida. Arte. Amor. (Mayimba Jazz). I’m also featured on acclaimed Brazilian pianist Dom Salvador’s newest release, The Art of Samba Jazz, which received a Premio da Musica Brasileira award for Best Instrumental CD.

    If I had 10 stars I would give them. Nothing short of amazing. Beautiful part writing and mastery of her instruments.

    I love the jazz flute, and I love what Laura played for me. She delivered a beautifully balanced and well-developped solo, and harmony parts for me. I would greatly recommend her to anyone for sure!
