Keys player Rebecca Nash in session and vocalist Jazzmeia Horn shares inspiring tracks.

Keys player Rebecca Nash performs live in session with her group Atlas and rising star vocalist Jazzmeia Horn shares some of the tracks that inspire her.

Julian Joseph presents a session from rising star keyboardist Rebecca Nash and her group Atlas who perform music from their debut album, Peaceful King – a potent blend of jazz, rock, electronica and drum & bass. 

Dallas-born vocalist Jazzmeia Horn won the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute International Jazz Competition in 2015 and has been compared to greats such as Betty Carter and Sarah Vaughan. She shares a collection of tracks that have inspired her and shaped her career, including a “poetic” Abbey Lincoln composition and a piece by Aretha Franklin that takes her back to her Southern Baptist roots. 

And Julian plays a selection of classic tracks and the best new releases. 

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin' Else.
