Asha is a dynamic new album by AO Music that includes several guest artists from around the globe, children’s voices from Tibet, and of course, AO Music’s unique, hybrid approach to world music. “Asha” is a Hindi word for hope, and the songs on the album are full of pan-cultural roots and contemporary elements that are typical of Richard Gannaway’s production style. Miriam Stockley’s vocal arrangements are captivating as always, and the guest performers are some of World Music’s finest talent.

Laura Campisi - Singer and songwriter

An award-winning songwriter and jazz singer based out in New York City, Laura has performed with various musical ensembles throughout Europe and America, and continues to produce a wide range of music: from Jazz, Folk and Rhythm & Blues, to traditional Sicilian and Mediterranean songs. She also writes original songs in English, Italian and Sicilian, and sings in Italian, English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Sicilian and Neapolitan.

International performance highlights of Laura Campisi include an Italian tour on January 2014 with the “Back Home” Trio (with special guest international saxophonist Gianni Gebbia) and on January 2013 with the Laura Campisi Roma Quartet; an appearance in the documentary film by director Nello Correale “La voce di Rosa”; the Rosa Balistreri e Alberto Favara Award in 2011 for her active role in spreading Sicilian music and culture in the world; a 2010 winter tour in New York City; first place at the 2010 Bianca D’Aponte Award, a competition dedicated to female songwriting; first place at the 2009 Lucca Jazz Donna Award, and a performance, later that year, at the Italian Embassy in Lisbon for the Festa della Repubblica; a tour in Paris in 2008; and an appearance at the Langnau Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 2004. Laura’s also featured on “Walnut Street Station”, a documentary film on the American and Italian Jazz scene in New York and New Jersey by director Gianluca Bozzo, shot in 2013 and to be released in 2014.

Laura regularly performs with Ameen Saleem, established American bassist and member of the Roy Hargrove’s quintet and big band. She has also performed with many accomplished international musicians such as Jon Davis, Tommy Campbell, Saul Rubin, Paul Jeffrey, Salvatore Bonafede, Gianluca Renzi, Fabio Morgera, Christos Rafalides and Gianpaolo Casati, to name a few. She also recently started a collaboration with the Pakistani cultural community in New York, getting Pakistani players involved in her bands, mixing their sounds with Jazz and Italian music. On the other hand, she’s challenging herself with Sufi traditional compositions in Sanskrit and with Panjabi music.

Since in New York, Laura has performed at many prestigious venues and clubs such as The Kitano, Bar Next Door, Zeb’s, New York University, Westchester Italian Cultural Center and the Italian American Museum, among others, and she keeps working constantly all around town. She has also performed at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall, in front of 3.000 people, with the SGI Youth Ensemble.

Laura is working on her first official album, a double trio featuring International Jazz stars drummer Gregory Hutchinson and bassist Ameen Saleem, together with Italian bassist Gianluca Renzi and drummer Flavio Li Vigni, plus special guests Vincen Herring on sax and Giovanni Falzone on trumpet.

She is also an expert of Sicilian musical tradition and a musical clinician, with a Bachelor Degree in Musical Arts.
