Review:

This is the sixtieth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Akua Allrich is a powerful vocalist whose singing falls between jazz and r&b.

She came from a musical family, studied at Howard University, and has led three albums since 2010 including the recent Soul Singer.

Accompanied by a fine pianist-keyboardist, Akua Allrich performs originals and the Nina Simone-associated “Please Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” and “Four Women” on her LiveStream from June 26, 2020, singing in a passionate style a little reminiscent of Simone and Abbey Lincoln but in her own voice.
