Grammy-nominated vocalist Jazzmeia Horn is one of the most virtuosic and exciting vocalists in jazz today. 32-year-old Jazzmeia’s combination of mind-boggling, saxophone-like vocal facility and lyrical artistry led her to win the 2015 Thelonious Monk International Vocal Competition and the Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. Horn has gone on to perform with many names in the jazz pantheon, including Vincent Herring, Ellis Marsalis, and Billy Harper. Jazzmeia utilizes her astonishing vocal range to traverse the spectrum of musical and lyrical expression, leaving no stone unturned.

With her newest album Dear Love, she became the first black woman in a century to front a big band album from cover to cover. The album comes on the heels of two widely praised albums, A Social Call and Love and Liberation, which each garnered Grammy nominations in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category.

Jazzmeia Horn in Concert is presented by The Colored Musicians Club.
