Saxophonist, flutist, and vocalist Camille Thurman is a soulful performer with a warm sound that she applies to both acoustic jazz standards and more contemporary R&B-influenced songs. In 2013, she caught the public's attention after placing third in the Sarah Vaughan Vocal Competition. That same year, she released her debut album, Spirit Child. A year later, she returned with Origins. An in-demand performer, Thurman has shared the stage with such luminaries as Chaka Khan, Benny Golson, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Alicia Keys, Nicholas Payton, Russell Malone, and many others. In 2017, she made her Chesky Records debut with Inside the Moment. ~ Matt Collar
