Ruth Naomi Floyd: Music for the Soul

**About the artist**

Award-winning vocalist and composer Ruth Naomi Floyd presents Music for the Soul, a powerful jazz program that weaves sacred reflection with historical remembrance. Drawing on the African American spiritual and gospel roots of jazz, Floyd’s music explores themes of faith, resilience, and human dignity while honouring figures such as Frederick Douglass, Octavius Valentine Catto, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.

As All About Jazz notes, her lyrical vision is carried by “some of the slickest, most erudite and daring jazz,” creating a performance that is both intellectually engaging and deeply moving.
