lineup and details for lalah hathaway live on wed 9th july 2014

The daughter of the great Donny Hathaway, Lalah Hathaway made a good impression with her debut recording, Lalah Hathaway, in 1990. She not only displayed poise, confidence, and good technique, but was also versatile enough to do more than just light urban contemporary ballads.

Her stage shows included jazz, pre-rock pop, and even gospel, and Hathaway later appeared on BET doing jazz and fusion. After her second and final album for Virgin, 1994's 'A Moment', she went on a lengthy hiatus, returning in 1999 with Joe Sample for 'The Song Lives On' (GRP).

The following decade and into the 2010s she released 'Outrun the Sky' (Sanctuary, 2004), 'Self Portrait' (Stax, 2008), and 'Where It All Begins' (Stax, 2011). All fine albums involving collaborations with the likes of Mike City, Rahsaan Patterson, Rex Rideout, and Dre & Vidal.

Lalah Hathaway is one of the finest adult contemporary R&B vocalists. A 2013 collaboration with the band Snarky Puppy on a cover of Brenda Russell's 'Something' won a 2014 Grammy Award in the category of Best R&B Performance.

Lalah Hathaway makes her long awaited return to The Jazz Cafe for two intimate nights.

Special guests are Juliette Ashby and DJ D’Nyce (Mi-Soul).
