Tessa Souter Quartet w/ Hristo Vitchev, Dan Robbins and Jemal Ramirez.
Born in London of English and Trinidadian parents, New York-based singer, and Downbeat Critics Poll ‘Rising Star’, Tessa Souter, has a unique style, infusing jazz with the soul and passion of flamenco, Middle Eastern and world music. "There's no one doing what Tessa does," enthused Village Voice critic and author Will Friedwald. Los Angeles Times critic Don Heckman, in a rave review of her California debut entitled "An unsigned standout in a crowded field" said, "unlike many of her contemporaries, she seems more focused on exploring the limitless creativity of the art than simply having another go at the American Songbook."
"Best of all, she delivers it with a wit and a wink worthy of the toniest joints in town." Time Out New York
