Meet the Guest Artist for 2027: Alyssa Allgood
is a jazz vocalist, songwriter, bandleader and 3X DownBeat Magazine Critics Poll Rising Star based in Chicago, praised for her "force, clarity and jazz integrity" (NYC Jazz Record). Her new album, co-produced by 2X GRAMMY-winning artist Nicole Zuraitis, has an anticipated Spring 2027 release. Drawing from both the vocal and instrumental jazz traditions, Allgood performs heartfelt originals and contemporary arrangements of standards with a voice that moves from tender to bold, and "improvisational prowess" (DownBeat) that puts her at the center of the band's conversation. The inaugural winner of the Ella Fitzgerald Competition, Allgood has commanded iconic stages including Jazz at Lincoln Center Shanghai, Dizzy's, Birdland, Mezzrow, the Green Mill, the Jazz Showcase and Blues Alley.
