Jill Scott — North Sea Jazz Festival, 2008

Full live concert of Jill Scott at the North Sea Jazz Festival, in the Ahoy hall of Rotterdam, on 11 July 2008. A major figure of neo-soul born in Philadelphia, a poet and singer with an ample voice, Jill Scott established herself from her album Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 as one of the great African-American voices of her generation. On the stage of the prestigious Dutch festival, she unfolds a generous set blending soul, jazz, funk and spoken word, carried by a full live band. The concert runs through her signature songs — « A Long Walk », « The Way », « Golden », « Hate on Me » and « He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat) » — before an emotional encore. Between swing, improvisation and warm address to the audience, this capture highlights her stage presence and the organic richness of her repertoire. A full concert ideal for discovering the best of contemporary soul live, in image and sound quality worthy of North Sea Jazz. Filmed live concert, soul and neo-soul in full.
