Jazzmeia Horn, making an important Smoke debut, leads a stellar quartet with pianist Victor
Gould, bassist Jason Clotter, and drummer Michael Reed. An award-winning vocalist (2013
Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and the 2015 Thelonious Monk Institute
International Jazz Competition), Horn is “without a doubt among the jazz world’s most exciting
young vocalists…her sound is explosive and bright and rich, catnip for audiences looking for
boldness that’s still traditional,” reports Billboard. Downbeat adds, “Jazzmeia Horn harbors
both astounding technique and an acute artistic vision…[she] has a thrilling presence with a
musical sensibility that strikes a deft balance between mid-century jazz and contemporary
neo-soul.”
