Carla Cook er hjemmehørende i Detroit og voksede op i et musikalsk rigt og mangfoldigt miljø og bringer alle sine påvirkninger til sig i sit repertoire. I hendes sangbog finder du elementer af R&B, europæisk klassisk, Motown, Blues og Gospel.

Cook har optrådt eller indspillet som gæstekunstner med sådanne koryfæer som Count Basie Orchestra og Lionel Hamptons Big Band (hun var den sidste af en lang række af anerkendte vokalister, der optrådte med ham før hans død). Hun startede hovedvokalrollen for Wynton Marsalis' Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra's The Cotton Club Parade at City Center. (Rollen blev senere udført med forskellige vokalister til Broadway-produktionen, omdøbt til After Midnight). Og i 2011 var hun den fremhævede vokalist med den verdenskendte Jazz Sinfonica, et 82 mands orkester, der optrådte i Sao Paulo, Brasilien.
