Tom's next guest is Christie Dashiell. She’s a DC-born and North Carolina-raised singer and songwriter whose music glides across the genre boundaries of jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel and soul.
In the years since her debut album in 2016, "Time All Mine,” she’s been celebrated for her rich, clear voice and brilliant improvisational skills.
Her most recent album, Journey in Black, was nominated for a 2025 Grammy Award in the category of Best Jazz Vocal Album. Downbeat Magazine deemed it a “masterpiece.”
The album features seven original compositions and two arrangements that explore themes of grief and joy, freedom and legacy. It also features a stellar cast of musicians, including Shedrick Mitchell, Marquis Hill, Allyn Johnson, Romeir Mendez and her brother, drummer Carroll Dashiell, III.
She’ll be performing some of those tunes with her trio tonight at 7 at the Keystone Korner Baltimore jazz club, but right now, Christie Dashiell joins us here in Studio A.
