Tessa Souter

1/2 price for students at the door

As a jazz vocalist with a sumptuous sound and an unerring ear for fresh and unexpected material,New York-based jazz vocalist-songwriter,Tessa Souter,knows her way around the American Songbooks back pages. But ever since the release of her flamenco-tinged debutListen Love, the Anglo-Trinidadian singer has cast an increasingly wide net, often contributing original lyrics to jazz instrumentals. On her ravishing 2012 masterpieceBeyond The Blue(Motema) - a 'Best Album of the Year' in theLondonSundayTimes -she even set lyrics to beloved themes from the European classical canon. Her upcoming albumPicture in Black and Whiteis her most personal and universal yet, a riveting musical account of the journey launched by her discovery at age 28 that her father was black. Its another revelatory step by an artist on a decidedly unconventional path.
