Jazzmeia Horn

This introductory quote reflects a young jazz singer, whose discipline in learning her craft embodies the order necessary to become a songstress. Coupled with the good manners to respect the historical legacy of America’s classical music - jazz. To hear her voice, is to hear a young woman’s journey into the past - and her present - of jazz vocalists, whose voices embodied the order and good manners of respecting the vocabulary of the song, as well as the interpretation of song. Thus, it is with Jazz Horn, a singer who approaches a song with moral and reasonable certitude which lies within her voice.

Lakecia Benjamin: Pursuance: The Coltranes

By MIKE JURKOVIC

Maybe it's the nuances she's picked up sharing stages with Rashied Ali, Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys, or a deep intuition not only into jazz, but also into James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone. Perhaps it's her Washington Heights sidewalk sense that, no matter the game, you play and play alike. Or that you ...

By MARC COHN

Showtime, don't ya know? Jazzmeia Horn was scheduled to perform in Baton Rouge recently, but the gig got 'coronaed.'

Sara Gazarek: Thirsty Ghost

By ANGELO LEONARDI

Le vocalist emerse dopo il 2010 (Cécile McLorin Salvant, Jazzmeia Horn, Veronica Swift, Cyrille Aimée ecc...) hanno messo un po' in ombra quelle del decennio precedente come Kate McGarry, Gretchen Parlato e appunto Sara Gazarek. È piuttosto buffo che l'interprete californiana (nata a Seattle ma a losangelina dal 2000) continui a essere votata nel critics poll ...
