Shiri Zorn is an innovative jazz vocalist whose fresh and i ntercultural sound reinvents standard jazz repertoire as we k now it. She layers American Songbook tunes with Middle E astern influences and unexpected time signatures and r e harmonizes Latin and Samba classics to evoke feelings of transcendence, temporarily rendering the listener lost to t i me and space. Zorn’s critically acclaimed debut album, Into Another Land, was vocally produced by Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Tierney Sutton. Zorn currently performs in Saratoga Springs, New York, where she is recording her second album, “Looking for the Light,” coming in fall 2024.
“Shiri is my favorite kind of singer (and human, for that matter)—open-minded, creative, and honest,” ~ Tierney Sutton
