Jazzmeia Horn

Jazzmeia Horn, one of the most distinctive and extraordinary singers of modern jazz, is coming to the Wiener Konzerthaus for the first time. Her original compositions combine jazz tradition with stylish influences from R&B and hip-hop and are full of dynamism and creativity. Their powerful melodies give an idea of what Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday or Nina Simone could have become today. The »New York Times« praised the singer and composer as »one of the most exciting young vocalists in jazz - rooted in the tradition that links her closely to the sound of singers like Nancy Wilson and Betty Carter, but with a vibrancy and conviction that anchors her firmly in the present«.
