Soothe your mind and soul with the stylings of Saint Louis-based vocalist Anita Michelle Jackson. Jackson's performance will explore her latest compositions and covers, fusing straight-ahead jazz with progressive jazz, rhythm and blues, world music, and even spoken word to create a euphony of musical pleasure. Jackson will be accompanied by Phillip “Dr. Philgood” Graves of Webster University, Jordan Brewer, and Demarius Hicks.

Anita Jackson is a native of Saint Louis who returned home after living in New York City for twelve years. She is a graduate of the American Music and Dramatic Academy in New York. She has recorded and performed as a background vocalist for such artists including Bette Midler, Patti Austin, Mariah Carey, Chico DeBarge, Joe, Erykah Badu, and most notably Cissy and Whitney Houston. She is also an alumna of the Kranzberg Arts Foundation Artists’ Residency Program and will release her debut album later this year.
