With a unique vocal style that blends elements of R&B, Jazz, pop, blues, soul, cabaret and gospel, Nancy Wilson simply prefers to be called a "song stylist."
Her accolades are many. Throughout the years, the public, the critics, and her peers have rewarded her with great praise, numerous awards and nominations. These include a Grammy, an Emmy, Entertainer of The Year, and winner of Best Female Vocalist by both of the prestigious Downbeat and Playboy Jazz Polls.
"Her intonation is faultless, her pulse sure and deft turning of a phrase emotionally convincing." THE WASHINGTON POST
But what really makes Nancy Wilson shine is her flair for combining vocal refinement, elegance and emotional sincerity with dazzling panache. These talents have enabled her to carve out a permanent niche in the music world.
We are proud to present this great vocal communicator in a memorable concert with full string orchestra, direct from Carnegie Hall, a highlight of New York's 1987 JVC Jazz Festival.
