- Chicago Recording Artist Denise Brigham is going places in a hurry and not looking back. Her new album, HOTEL LAFAYETTE, was released in May to rave reviews and quickly took the Adult Standards radio market by storm climbing to #2 in national airplay by mid July. Now it sits on the 52nd annual Grammy ballots in five major categories.
HOTEL LAFAYETTE was no small project. It was over a year in the making with a budget that ran well over $100,000. Producer/arranger Carey Deadman assembled a who’s who list of musicians, most of which worked with Conductor Colin Welford in Wicked, and brought in additional specialists that wound up totaling 70 pieces. Featured along with Denise are such notables as Eric Schneider, Mike Smith, Mark Colby, Andy Baker and Jeremy Kahn among many others.
These are not your grandfather’s standards. Carey’s arrangements and orchestrations are filled with bright horns and bold strings, and most of the songs have electrifying instrument solos. Denise's vocals range from soft and sultry on songs like Johnny Angel to, as Chicago Jazz said, can move “into some sheer power that hangs with that monster horn section!” Nationally syndicated radio host Johnny Magnus told his audience "when you hear great orchestrated vocals you always think of L.A. or New York, never Chicago. Now you have to!"
Denise is now busy promoting the album and preparing for her concerts that she will soon be taking on the road to many parts of the country. To learn more about her remarkable story and find out her latest activity be sure and visit her main web site listed below.

Chicago Jazz Magazine Reviews HOTEL LAFAYETTE
Chicago Jazz Magazine just hit the news stands with their latest issue and gave HOTEL LAFAYETTE a glowing review. The review is too long to put in a blog but here are some pull quotes:
"This impressive disc features a seventy-piece orchestra, most of whom were part of the show Wicked. Normally I list the musicians who play on a recording but there isn’t enough space to name them all! This music is a collection of standards, show tunes, and movie themes, all of which feature stunning arrangement… Continue
