Ingrid James is a Queensland jazz vocalist whose career has taken her to London (including Ronnie Scott’s), Paris, Monte Carlo, Nice, Marseilles, Toulon and Prague, as well as gigs and festivals around Australia. For this beautiful album, partnered by acclaimed UK pianist and arranger Pete Churchill, with Samuel Vincent on bass and Lachlan Hawkins on drums, she offers us a unique take on classic and vibrant songs by Michel Legrand, Henry Mancini, Bill Evans, The Beatles and more.

‘Search for Peace is close to my heart,’ says Ingrid, ‘as every song has a special meaning. Having lost both my parents during Covid in late 2020, it has been a time for reflecting, re-purposing, finding simplicity in life, processing grief, and turning toward those who are special to me – my family, friends, musicians and community projects.’
