Stave Sessions: Jazzmeia Horn

Dallas-born singer Jazzmeia Horn supercharged her young career with a win in the 2015 Thelonious Monk Institute competition, and impressed critics with her 2017 debut album A Social Call. JazzTimes called her “a fully realized stylist and a first-rate scatter” with “vivacity, imagination, gutsiness and sociopolitical savvy.” DownbeatMagazine praised her “thrilling presence, with a musical sensibility that strikes a deft balance between mid-century jazz and contemporary neo-soul.”
