WCHOF Music Series: Anita Jackson Sings Abbey Lincoln

Acclaimed vocalist Anita Jackson honors the fearless artistry of Abbey Lincoln. With rich tone and commanding presence, Jackson and her jazz quartet illuminate Lincoln’s legacy - swinging, spiritual, and deeply human - through fresh, reverent interpretations. Anita Jackson is one of St. Louis’ premier vocalists and storytellers, known for her commanding presence and warm, soulful sound. Equally at home in jazz, gospel, R&B, and blues, Jackson has performed with ensembles ranging from church choirs to jazz quartets and symphony orchestras. She has appeared in major regional productions, including collaborations with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, Jazz St. Louis, and Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. Jackson’s performances pay homage to the great vocalists who came before her while establishing her as a powerful and original artist in her own right. https://worldchesshof.org/programming...
