    Six-time Grammy Award nominee Nnenna Freelon is hailed as the “international voice of jazz” and according to the Los Angeles Times, “she’s positioned herself in the very top echelon” as one of the greatest singers of our time. She’s shared the stage and appeared on recordings with music icons such as Herbie Hancock, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, the Count Basie Orchestra and more, and she’s been heard and seen in the feature film What Women Want” on the Emmy and Golden Globe winning TV show Mad Men and in performances at the world’s top concert halls and jazz festivals. Now she returns to Philadelphia performing hits from her hot new album, Homefree—a mix of tunes that Freelon identifies as “feeling at home in your own skin” and that bubble with the energy and creativeness that have become her hallmarks.
