She has been described as “Mix [of] Nina Simone’s urgency, Betty Carter’s chops and Jill Scott’s sass, and you’ll get the bold and bravura vocalist Alison Crockett...”. Alison released the neo soul gem “On Becoming a Woman…” and “Return of Diva Blue”, a electronica remix record, “Bare” an acoustic piano based record, “Mommy, What’s a Depression?” a political mashup of funk, jazz, electronica, soul originals and jazz standards. Alison has always been a craftsman, journeying through different genres, seeing the musical world through new eyes each time.
