Critically-acclaimed New York-based jazz vocalist Tessa Souter's gorgeous voice and penchant for exploring music mostly untouched by other vocalists has set her apart as “one of the few exceptional standouts in the crowded field of female jazz singers,” (Los Angeles Times). A protégé of jazz vocal legend Mark Murphy, who called her "very moving", a “true musician” and “an extraordinary talent,” Souter clearly knows her way around the American Songbook, but the Anglo-Trinidadian has also established herself as an uncommonly creative arranger and songwriter. She has recorded five albums as a leader, including two Sunday Times Best ten Jazz Albums of the Year, and she performs all over the world, wowing audiences with her striking authenticity, charismatic stage presence and sparkling humor.
