There are jazz singers. Then there’s Judi Jackson.
As a singer, Judi has it all. Astounding range, immaculate pitch, and an indescribable something which makes her stand out as a truly special talent. No wonder she cites Nina Simone and Billie Holiday as major influences – she’s the 21st Century’s own jazz diva.
Her first hit came alongside hipster fusionists Snarky Puppy with “Only You” – as part of their Grammy-winning 2013 album Family Dinner: Volume One. Residencies and rave reviews soon followed and culminated in her 14-track Live In London, backed by some of London’s hottest jazz talents.
It’s not just jazz that permeates through her music, though. Her own material carries elements of folk, pop, R&B, neo-soul and more. As the buzz around this bright young talent continues to grow, hear her up close and personal in the intimate surroundings of The Jazz Cafe this November.
