Hailed as “the next big carrier of straight-ahead jazz’s vocal tradition” by the New York Times, Jazzmeia Horn is the winner of the 2013 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition and the 2015 Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition. She received Grammy nominations in the Best Jazz Vocal Album category for both her debut album A Social Call and its followup, Love and Liberation, and her first big-band album, Dear Love, was nominated in the Best Large Jazz Ensemble category. She continues to tour nationally and internationally while teaching and conducting outreach programs through the Jazz Horn International Vocal Initiative, and she is the author of Strive From Within: The Jazzmeia Horn Approach.
