ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Nancy Wilson

Nancy Wilson developed her singing in Ohio church choirs and clubs before joining Rusty Bryant's band. A move to New York led to a long relationship with Capitol Records, and her collaboration with Cannonball Adderley strengthened her jazz reputation. She described herself as a song stylist, emphasizing lyrics and storytelling across jazz, pop and R&B. Television appearances and hosting NPR's Jazz Profiles extended her career beyond concerts and albums.
