Laura Impallomeni

Laura Chiara Impallomeni is a British Italian jazz musician, trombonist, composer and band leader. 

She brings the trombone to the fore, with an exciting collection of her original contemporary jazz compositions. These are collaboratively brought to life by some of the UK's most formidable jazz musicians.  Featuring Greg Sinclair on Tenor Saxophone, Sam Jones on Drums, Mei Kirby on keyboards, Ezekiel Ajie on Double and electric bass, and Laura on Trombone. Her music encapsulates her broad range of influences from hints of hard bop to Ethio jazz, whilst rhythmically exploring odd meters to bass-heavy grooves. 

In November 2022, she debuted some of these compositions at the London Jazz Festival 2022 in a sold-out performance. She went on to share her full body of work at the Royal Albert Hall in January this year and has just been awarded the "Record and Release' grant from Help Musicians, to release her debut contemporary jazz album later this year. 

She is also the musical director, co-composer and trombonist of an original 11-piece afro jazz band 'Yamäya', who performed on the Supreme Standards stage at the Love Supreme Festival 2023 after releasing their debut album Senegal on Funkiwala Records last year. 

Laura has performed and toured with various renowned artists such as First Aid Kit, The Moulettes, Giffords Circus, Janet Kay and Ken Boothe. She is also the trombonist for Rootsgarden Dub Sound System, The Voodoo Love Orchestra and Barnacles. She also works for the London music charity 'Play for Progress' as a therapeutic music teacher/workshop leader with young asylum seekers and refugees.
