Texas native Jazzmeia Horn has sealed her reputation as a vocalist by drawing together diverse ingredients in fresh new ways. Take the funky swagger and unwavering social consciousness of Nina Simone and Betty Wright, then leaven it with the playful scatting of Bobby McFerrin and Louis Armstrong. Add a dash of Common's cosmic hip-hop experiments and Jon Hendricks' slinky bossa nova, and you arrive at Horn's genre-expanding take on jazz singing.
