The Brno premiere of the singer, who won a Grammy Award in the vocal jazz category three times in four years, for three consecutive albums.
The American singer first caught the attention of jazz fans at the age of twenty-one with her triumph at the Thelonious Monk 2010 International Jazz Competition. Shortly before the release of her second album, WomanChild, a New York Times critic prophesied: "Although it is still unknown to the general jazz audience, it will not take long." His prediction came true. This CD has garnered a number of awards, including a Grammy nomination. In the victory, she managed to change the nomination only later, but with even greater success - in 2015, 2017 and 2018 she won a Grammy for the best vocal jazz albums. No artist in the field of jazz singing of recent memory has won more honors faster than this charming singer.
