An expressive jazz vocalist, Karrin Allyson has earned FIVE Grammy nominations for her lyrical balladry and adept skill at interpreting instrumental jazz songs with her lithe vocalese technique.

Emerging in Kansas City in the ’90s, Allyson rose to prominence singing standards and bossa nova songs, as well as more contemporary pop covers by artists like Randy Newman, Janis Ian, and James Taylor. Widely recognized as one of the most gifted jazz singers of her generation, she has picked up numerous accolades, including earning Grammy nominations for Best Jazz Vocal Album nods for 2001’s Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane and 2011’s ‘Round Midnight. Karrin lives in New York City, following a childhood in the midwest, schooling in the Bay Area, a degree in classical piano performance and important stints in Minneapolis and Kansas City, where she began her recording career with Concord Jazz.
