Jazz vocalist-songwriter Tessa Souter’s latest project, Picture in Black and White (NOA), the second of her albums to be a London Sunday Times magazine Jazz Record of the Year, is a riveting musical journey inspired by her discovery, upon meeting him at age 28, that her estranged birth father was black, having been brought up to believe he was the white son of a Spanish flamenco dancer.

“Exploring her mixed heritage, the expat with a penchant for Wayne Shorter raises songs to the level of poetry.” TOP TEN JAZZ RECORD OF THE YEAR, Clive Davis, London Sunday Times magazine

“A remarkable journey to the interior of the human heart.” AllAboutJazz

"Souter’s expressive warmth, impassioned eloquence and unfailingly beautiful timbre are an ever-present backdrop to this singularly powerful collection . . . impossible not to be transfixed by the inventiveness and potency of Souter’s artistry.” 4 out of 4 stars, Peter Quinn, Jazzwise magazine

“Rarely do vocal CDs leave such a strong impact after a single hearing. This is an easy choice for the top vocal jazz CD of 2018.” Ken Dryden, New York Jazz Record

“A singer and composer blessed with wide-ranging vocals and a post-bop sensibility, through which she filters sounds from West Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Andalusian Spain.” JAZZ ALBUM OF THE WEEK, Jane Cornwell, London Evening Standard
