Her once-in-a-generation six-octave voice has earned her two Grammy nominations for Best Female Jazz Performance and Downbeat magazines Best Female Singer accolade on four occasions.

Her musical genius was inbred thanks to a Russian émigré father who played violin and a mother who was a talented pianist in her own right
