Best known for her work with the British band Incognito, Maysa is an American jazz singer from Baltimore, Maryland. No newcomer to the music scene, Maysa first gained fame as the featured voice on British acid jazz band Incognito’s defining `90s era hits “Don’t You Worry About A Thing”, “Still A Friend of Mine” and “Deep Waters.”   The Ritz Theatre is thrilled to host the acclaimed singer on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 7pm and 10pm.

 

Over the last twenty years, Maysa has been remarkably productive as a solo artist. The varied All My Life (2000), Out of the Blue (2002), and Smooth Sailing (2004) featured an array of sophisticated R&B, lush deep house, and crossover jazz, as well as covers of songs originally recorded by Sly & the Family Stone, Gil Scott-Heron, and Earth, Wind & Fire.

 

Maysa’s tenth solo album, Blue Velvet Soul, was released in 2013 and epitomizes the unique blend of satiny vocals and soulful dance gems that have become the singer’s signature style. Blue Velvet Soul follows the passing of Maysa's mother and the extended bout of writer's block that ensued.  The album is described by Maysa as her best work to date.
