Jacqui Naylor at Triple Door

About

Jacqui Naylor is not an easy artist to categorize. She is as comfortable in the world of singer-songwriters as she is with jazz improvisers. Naylor is jazz-friendly, but far from a rigid purist, bringing a long list of influences to her work, ranging from Billie Holiday, June Christy and Nina Simone to Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, Carole King and Sheryl Crow. During her live performances, Naylor has no problem singing smoky jazz one minute and folk-rock or adult alternative the next — and there are times when she blurs the line between the two.
