Emilie-Claire Barlow, the acclaimed Canadian vocalist, formed The Barlow Group in 1997 with her father, creating an octet that accompanied her early albums and live performances. Over the years, Emilie-Claire has built a remarkable career as a leading figure in contemporary vocal jazz, blending French Québec repertoire, Brazilian bossa nova influences, and chanson-tinged arrangements. The Barlow Group helped shape her initial sound on albums like Sings (1998), Tribute (2001), and Happy Feet (2003), with later projects expanding through Empress Music Group and collaborations with the Metropole Orkest.
