Laura Margaret Macdonald (b. 17 July 1974) is a Scottish alto and soprano saxophonist, composer and teacher, who specialises in jazz.
She attended Prestwick Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, before moving to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music. She began to play the saxophone at the relatively late age of 16, after disowning the violin. She graduated from Berklee College of Music in 1998, and is now based in Scotland, specialising in improvisation.
She has worked with many jazz musicians including Tommy Smith (saxophonist) (her ex-husband), drummer Jeff "Tain" Watts, bassist James Genus, pianist David Budway, Guy Barker and Jason Rebello, and has made many appearances at notable jazz events, including the Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe. In addition, she is a prominent player within the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. Moreover, she has worked alongside legendary non-jazz specialist John McCrory.
She has released albums, notably the eponymous Laura on Spartacus Records in 2001.
