18th Annual NM Jazz Festival: Jazzmeia Horn
The 18th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival continues at the Outpost Performance Space with gifted jazz vocalist Jazzmeia Horn, whose inventive vocalese-influenced style helped win her both the Sarah Vaughan 2013 International Jazz Competition and the 2015 Thelonious Monk International Vocal-Jazz Competition. Horn “is among the most exciting young vocalists in jazz, with a proud traditionalism that keeps her tightly linked to the sound of classic figures like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter, but a vivacity of spirit and conviction that places her firmly in the present” (The New York Times). She released her 2017 debut album, A Social Call, which was nominated for a Grammy Award and her message about the global need for love and social change in the world was reflected in her 2019 release, Love and Liberation, which also received a Grammy nomination and won her the 51st NAACP Image Award for Best Jazz Album. Her latest release, Dear Love (2021), released on her own record label, also earned a Grammy nomination and features her 15-piece Noble Force ensemble. Accompanying Ms. Horn tonight will be Victor Gould, piano; Aiden McCarthy, bass; & Greg Artry, drums.
