LOUISE ALEXANDRA
Singer - Songwriter - Scientist
Louise Alexandra is a Dutch-American jazz vocalist, songwriter, and cancer research scientist balancing two worlds with equal passion.
During 15 years in Boston's biotech and jazz scenes, Louise released two albums under the mentorship of the late master jazz vocalist Rebecca Parris: Destiny (2012) and Today (2020), both directed by Rebecca and recorded with some of Boston's finest jazz musicians at PBS Studios.
Since returning to the Netherlands, where she continues developing cancer therapies, Louise pursues her musical path with renewed focus. Her third album, Crazy World of Love (March 2026), features collaborations with Dutch jazz pianist Rob van Bavel and his trio - Frans van Geest (bass), Vincent Koning (guitar) - along with Marcel Serierse (drums/percussion) and Jan Menu (saxophone).
The album blends original compositions with reimagined standards and vocalese, all beautifully arranged by Rob van Bavel. Louise wrote new lyrics to music by Rob and Emmet Cohen, with special guest Benny Benack III bringing vocals and flugelhorn to Angel of Mine (based on Emmet Cohen's Little Angel).
