Ledisi Sings Dinah

GRAMMY-winning R&B and jazz superstar vocalist Ledisi performing her heartfelt tribute to the "Queen of the Blues," Dinah Washington at Davies Symphony Hall, backed by her finely minted band.

On the heels of her sold-out 2023-24 Season tribute to the High Priestess of Soul, Nina Simone, it's no surprise that Ledisi has turned her attention to the great Dinah Washington -- a crystal-voiced performer who was among the most popular artists of the 1950s and, like Ledisi herself, effortlessly balanced the jazz tradition with blues, R&B, soul, and pop music.

You can tell when a woman has finally come into her own. It's in the swivel of her hips, the growl in her voice and the joy that brightens her face when she smiles. A woman filled with confidence is a force to be reckoned with. For singer songwriter Ledisi, that exuberance rings through on every track of her new album The Truth.

"I changed my life!" Ledisi says with a laugh. "With every album I grow, and with The Truth I am really starting to accept myself fully. I mean, I've always felt great about myself, but this time I've gone to a new level."

The result is an album filled not only with Ledisi's trademark soaring ballads but also something unexpected: a generous collection of up-tempo, beat-driven celebrations of love and lust. Ledisi describes the effort as "vibrant, sensual and fun. Of all of my recordings, this is definitely my favorite album ever."
