VIVIAN SESSOMS

DJANGO / MARCH 8

There is only one way to describe the experience of listening to Vivian Sessoms sing and that would be “absolutely unforgettable.” Vivian is a once-in-a-generation talent whose prodigious musicianship has attracted a diverse array of artists and producers – from the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto to Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Sinéad O’Connor, Stevie Wonder and many others. Those performances betray nothing of what a concert by Vivian might be. Listening to her is like ascending an evanescent realm in a Holy Rollin’ Church, then returning to earth to boogie to the visceral rhythms or the blues, jazz and every colorful, rollicking rhythm wrought by Black American music. An experience to live (or die) for. RDG
