Valerie Troutt: Spirit Music November 14, 2008

Blending jazz with folk, rock, electronic, gospel and soul music, Valerie Troutt is one of today’s most stylistically innovative modern jazz singers. For years, Troutt has mentored under jazz vocalists Kevin Mahogany and Dianne Reeves. Her current group is comprised of noted young Bay Area musicians.

“Valerie Troutt approaches her lyrics with stirring conviction.”
—John Murph, NPR.org

“Jazz vocalist Valerie Troutt is unquestionably one of the best … songwriters around. Armed not only with a pure-toned voice but a preternatural sense of rhythm … Troutt has the power to turn listeners into avid fans in the course of a few bars.”
—Rachel Swan, East Bay Express

“You're the shit.”
—MC Kirby Dominate
