Isabella Isherwood’s work crosses jazz, theater and screen. Her Nov. 21 Evanston booking pairs her with three named Chicago-area musicians, while her recently released debut album offers a separate way to get acquainted with her work before the show.
Isherwood’s debut, The Sweetest Sounds, was released on Sabrina Records in April 2026 and is available on major streaming platforms. It is a recent recording to explore alongside the live booking, but the event information does not say whether any album songs will be performed.
