Karrin Allyson

With absolute musical fearlessness, Karrin Allyson sails through musical genres as easily as chameleons change colors. From the Great American songbook to Brazilian jazz melodies, pop music selections, and the innovations of American jazz composers Coltrane, Ellington and Monk, the five-time Grammy nominee handles it all with effortless aplomb. Not only is Karrin a captivating, critically acclaimed vocalist, she is also a talented pianist and composer with fifteen albums to her name. One of her previous albums, Round Midnight, received a coveted 5-star review in DownBeat magazine. In 2013, she was voted #1 Rising Star Vocalist in DownBeat's Critics Poll. Karrin's latest album, the Grammy-nominated Many a New Day: Karrin Allyson Sings Rodgers & Hammerstein, is among her best work.
