Laurie Antonioli: American Dreams
by Raul d'Gama Rose
The remarkable ingenuity of Laurie Antonioli's voice is owed, not just to the impossible range--some three octaves--but to vocalist's breathtaking ability to find the hidden quarter tones that sound between the so-called right ones. In suggesting that these notes she sings are “wrong," the idea of a Thelonious Monk-like reality emerges in Antonioli's singing. The elemental ...
Laurie Antonioli: A Constellation In The West
by C. Michael Bailey
While vocalist Laurie Antonioli may not be a household name, she is not exactly an unknown quantity.

by Nenad Georgievski
Foreign Affair is Laurie Antonioli's debut as a solo artist, although she has appeared on record with artists such as George Cables and Joe Bonner.

Laurie Antonioli: Foreign Affair
by Stephen Latessa
The title of this album is particularly apt in that it was recorded in Slovenia, finding San Francisco native Laurie Antonioli performing with a Serbian bassist (Nenad Vasilic), an Albanian guitarist (Armend Xhaferi), a German saxophonist (Johannes Enders), and a drummer from New York (John Hollenbeck). From this multinational band comes a program that is equally ...
