Vi Redd

An accomplished altoist and vocalist, Vi Redd's impressive music career has flourished for over four decades.

Daughter of New Orleans jazz drummer and Clef Club co-founder, Alton Redd, Vi Redd was born in Los Angeles and was deeply influenced during her formative years by her father who was one of the paramount figures on the Central Avenue jazz scene
