J’ai la musique dans le sang, music's in my blood

About Me

The Tiny Woman With The Huge Voice"Alison Crockett has paid her musical "dues" in full... She is perhaps the quintessential nu jazz/progressive soul singer of her generation and yet you may not have heard of her - - but you've no doubt heard her voice... On seminal recordings by King Britt, Blue Six, Us3, Landslide, John Wicks, Mathematics and a whole host of others, Alison's voice has provided the velvety, sensual sound of tomorrow's yesterday's...a captivating tone which evokes both the music of the past and that yet to come...dripping soul with generous helpings of jazz and blues - - King Britt nicknamed her "Diva Blue" - - Alison has taken her cues from divas of the present and past such as Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Donna Summer, Diana Ross and Sarah Vaughn and so too has forged a uniquely personal and singular musical vision...Me and Roy AyersKing Britt Sylk 130 reunionI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
