About the event
“Hypnotic, expressive, and sultry, Freelon delivered an uplifting and spiritual concert, reaffirming herself as one of the most exciting jazz singers of our time.” – The Houston Chronicle
Nnenna Freelon joins the Count Basie Orchestra for an evening featuring favorites from the Great American Songbook and to pay tribute to her jazz inspiration, Count Basie. Nnenna Freelon is a GRAMMY nominated jazz vocalist, as well as a writer, composer, and producer. The Count Basie Orchestra is celebrating their 90th Anniversary and continues the excellent history started by Basie of stomping and shouting the blues, as well as refining those musical particulars that allow for the deepest and most moving of swing.
