Acclaimed powerhouse vocalist Tiffany Austin will perform live in downtown San Jose when San Jose Jazz, Hammer Theatre Center, and San José State University present the Tiffany Austin Trio. Described by KQED Arts as “one of the country’s best jazz singers,” Austin’s refreshing approach to the jazz tradition blends elements of R&B, jazz, hip-hop, gospel, soul, and the blues, with influences ranging from Whitney Houston to Mariah Carey, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, and more.
