Jazzmeia Horn 'Tight' | Live Studio Session

Riding a wave of excitement after the release of her debut album A Social Call from last year, Jazzmeia Horn sold out her Tuesday night Earshot Jazz Festival performance. Our studio audience was packed to catch her incredible talent and impressive band up close, and we're honored to share that studio session with you.
Musically, Horn was raised in a Baptist church choir. She was put here by the Creator to make music, Horn told us, and it's hard to argue that point. Her skills as a singer transcend standard jazz vocalists, Horn uses her voice as an instrumentalist would. Only she's able to mimic a symphony with her impressive pipes, wailing like a sax or popping and cracking like a drummer.
Musicians:
Jazzmeia Horn - vocals
Julius Rodriguez - piano
Endea Owens - bass
Henry Conerway III - drums
Audio:
John Kessler

a fantastic performance; love the wicked Legs and Arms

[@itsjazzhoney]

I don't like that I'm still listening to this song in 2024! I haven't found him yet.

[@micheleberman2875]

I think that Betty Carter would have loved this!

[@TB-rq1hz]

Quite an amazing singer. Who ever is the piano player he is out of this world! Fantastic

[@juliusrodriguez2488]

The highest panicle of jazz voice!.......the real tradition of this great music!

[@olavosilvajunior577]

I did not know her. She reminds me of Betty Carter, her voice just a little less serious. I loved it

[@juliopablovazquez]

Totally agree! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f37Wd5iDdrOdhrs

[@lamonttoussaint5256]

To me she is young and high energy, but she is Betty Bebop all the way

[@aidanengel875]

pianist is fiiire

[@michaeloflaherty8424]

love Jazzmeia and big up to the band, especially Henry Conerway III who keeps everything tight; he's so solid in all the performances i have seen. Thanks to KNKX for hosting this and sharing here.

[@CwuLacha]

The piano player's foot is going nuts!

[@NotYourTypicalNegro]

2:03 - Right there on her face you can see her tapping into the spirit of the ancestors.

[@franciszerah9724]

When John talks about Paul, he talks about himself.

[@othercarib]

I'd heard the name Betty Carter but didn't this was her song until I got unti Jazzmeia - now I know about both of them.

[@muhammadshakoor8745]

Ella Fitzgerald❤️ Betty Carter❤️ now Jazzmeia Horn ❤️🎤

[@thekaerichtexas]

She is the best thing in music forget cardi b and ill uzi vert. Why can't jazz musicians get the kind of recognition and applause as popular artists? This girl is fucking amazing. They need to be playing her every hour on the radio as much as they play Bruno mars and beyonce

[@silas6173]

it's unfair to compare different artists like this. each musician has a different demographic, and that's ok. if there is a wider market for people who like cardi b, then she will be the more popular one. i get what you're saying, but that's just how it works

[@thekaerichtexas]

@@silas6173 yeah not fair. It's soooo music music that ppl will never be familiar bc they play pop artists 100x a day on mainstream radio and artist like her literally get zero airplay unless your locale has a dedicated jazz station but over the last 20 years jazz stations are almost non existent. Radio is mainly comprised of rap, pop country, rock or talk. Its crazy

[@paoloalbano4690]

Simply fantastic ! They all play so good and Jazzmeia is unbelievable...

[@traeblackwell]

That piano player is everything........

[@skillet6870]

The spirit of Carmen McRae AND Betty Carter approve.

[@joao-geraldodamasceno1581]

Betty Carter would love this girl.!!!!!!

[@TheRealMusic4Life]

I had to listen to this interpretation more than once to know how I truly felt about it....but after I did that I really appreciate it! They took a great risk covering this. Betty Carter's music is so difficult to recreate both vocally and instrumentally. Awesome youthful take on some great music, I'm sure they'll go on to do many more great things!!!

[@rc9867]

As Betty would say her music isn’t for re-creating but innovating. And this singer seems to have a unique stamp on the song.

[@calmandclearwellnesstv4612]

You did this song justice. Best rendition of this song that I have heard since Betty Carter.

[@soundsandsoul6421]

Social call blew me away.. this has done it AGAIN. Brava!

[@knkx]

Thanks for watching Cesar!

[@sawdustcaesar6853]

WOW! Today I am lifted. This presentation, this sound, the beauty of all the elements together, taken apart, then reorganized and re-shaped into a non-stop heart pumping eye exploding ecstasy; this is what I just saw/experienced an ecstasy - teared me eyes up. Fresh as can be. I think me likes it. Thank you Jazzmeia and crew for lifting me up like a helium filled balloon rising high over the c-i-t-y. WHAAM! POW! BAAM! BAROOOM!

[@tarplin]

WOW. GOING TO SEE HER MONDAY NIGHT. CAN'T WAIT!

BETTY CARTER......INCARNATE.... HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF .........SCAT....LIKE ITS A REWIND... BUT NOTHING WILL REPLACE .THE LADY TAURUS BETTY HERSELF....🎶🎶📰📰📰📰🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎼🎼🎼🎵🎵🎵

[@rc9867]

Not quite. Betty beloved in individualism and Jazzmeia is doing that, she's not Betty incarnate. She's singing with the band and not controlling it as B did...for one. But this was an extraordinary rendition and an excellent piano solo!

[@joao-geraldodamasceno1581]

The heiress of betty carter...

[@hildegeerkens7768]

[@intooctavarium]

she sounds like trumpet

[@stefaniashmoremusic]

Does anyone have the sheet music or a transcription of this song?

[@valr.r.7130]

Is she real?

100%

[@musiclovertwo8612]

Beautiful! Is she related to Shirley Horn?

[@franciszerah9724]

I love it but the lesson of betty carter is coolness.
