With the release of her debut album “Salt” in 2003, she achieved her international breakthrough. Since then, the daughter of a preacher from Georgia, who grew up with gospel music and the Great American Songbook, has become one of the great vocalists of contemporary jazz thanks to her dark, velvety voice. However, her repertoire stretches far beyond the boundaries of the genre, just as her deep sense of humanity effortlessly transcends social boundaries. Her concerts thus become holistic experiences that regularly leave audiences with a communal feeling of warmth.
