ABOUT NATALIE JOHN FEATURING ALLISON MILLER: THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK REIMAGINED

“[Natalile’s] music blends together the sultry, coy emotions of jazz singers that precede her with the tension of jagged rhythms and complex, lush harmonies.”—All About Jazz

“As we enter a new decade, there is no more important figure in jazz than Allison Miller.”—Paste

Natalie John doesn’t just sing and play trumpet. Her singing connects with you instantly, revealing the heart of the music to you. She uses her gorgeous trumpet tone to weave melodies and improvisations that take you on beautiful journeys. With a deep knowledge of the roots of the jazz tradition, she composes with open ears and broad strokes to create a style all her own.

In this special Festival performance featuring drummer extraordinaire Allison Miller, Natalie brings together like-minded musicians who employ a vibrant approach to contemporary jazz as they seamlessly weave complex harmonies and rhythms with catchy backbeats and heartbreaking melodies to bring the stories of the Great American Songbook to life.
