At once unassumingly virtuosic and uncontrivedly emotional, New York Times critics pick and two-time Sunday Times magazine Top Ten Jazz CD of the Year choice (2013 and 2018), vocalist Tessa Souter is “a beguiling artist who infuses everything she interprets with voluptuous intelligence and keen emotional insight.” (KQED ARTS). Her last two albums were both London Sunday Times Jazz Records of the Year. And Picture in Black and White was also the Number One Jazz Vocal CD of the Year for Ken Dryden (New York Jazz Record), W. Royal Stokes (NPR Downbeat Critics Poll) and WVCR FM’s Jay Hunter. She has performed all over the world, from New York's Jazz at Lincoln Center to the Blue Note (New York, Shanghai and Beijing), and recorded and or played with many of the jazz world's greats, including Steve Kuhn, Kenny Werner, Gene Bertoncini, Lew Soloff and more. Wowing audiences with her striking authenticity, charismatic stage presence and crackling humor, “Souter, with gorgeous, often breath-taking vocalizing and deeply moving song writing, ranks in the uppermost echelon of contemporary artists.” PopCultureClassics. www.tessasouter.com
