Christie Dashiell sings where language leaves off. Her voice moves with clarity and warmth, her scatting is precise but free, and her songwriting carries a quiet poetry. Journey in Black, her Grammy-nominated second album, is vocal jazz that holds space for joy, grief, legacy and groove – all at once.
You’ll hear gospel organ, Dilla-inspired vamps, and reworked jazz standards folded into originals that sound entirely her own. Rooted in the Black musical tradition and shaped by her years at Howard and Manhattan School of Music, Dashiell doesn’t imitate. She inhabits.
