Liz Cole is a hard-swinging, fun-loving jazz singer who has been carving out a name for herself around Los Angeles while playing with some of the area’s finest musicians. Though a devotee of classic standards (they don’t write ‘em like they used to), she’s also no stranger to throwing in a few gems by Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, or even Mr. Rogers. Her debut album, I Want to Be Happy, was released in January of 2025 and she can be seen singing on the hit TV series Tracker in the episode entitled “Exodus.”
