Jill Scott is an American jazz/soul/R&B singer and actress, born 4 April 1972. She originates from Philadelphia in Pennsylvania, USA.

Scott began her career in the performing arts unusually: as a spoken word artist who appeared at live poetry readings. She achieved her breakout in to the music industry when she was discovered by Amir "Questlove" Thompson of the band the Roots. Questlove invited her to join his band in the studio to record a track together. The result was the single ‘You Got Me’, which won a Grammy award. This was the start of Scott’s rise to fame. It led to her being signed on to Steve McKeever's new 'Hidden Beach Recordings' label. Her debut album, ‘Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1’, was soon released in 2000. The album went platinum. Scott has since recorded three more studio albums to date.

A few of Scott’s biggest singles include ‘A Long Walk’, ‘He Loves Me’ and ‘The Way’, all from her first album. Other notable hits are ‘Golden’, ‘Calls’ and ‘Blessed’. She has achieved enormous success with her music, winning a number of highly prestigious awards including three Grammy Awards as well as several Soul Train and Lady of Soul awards. On top of these wins she has received a countless number of nominations for her music, predominantly in the soul and R&B categories.

Live reviews

If you ever attend a Jill Scott show expecting to hear her sing songs exactly as they are on her albums, you will always be disappointed. Every. Single. Time. And that is one of the main reasons I continue to pay to see Jilly from Philly – I’m guaranteed a new and highly entertaining show no matter the city or venue. Her performance at Mountain View Winery in Saratoga, CA last week just so happened to fall on the one day I consider more important than the other 364 days of the year. My birthday. On June 24, 2014 Jill Scott showed up, showed out and gave a performance that I consider her best concert I’ve ever witnessed. And that’s saying much because I’ve been to more than 10 Jill Scott concerts. My experience with seeing and hearing Jill live began on July 27, 2001 at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA. From there I’ve seen her many times in Oakland, San Francisco and Concord, CA. I’ve traveled cross country (twice) to New Jersey, but last Tuesday, I felt something special in the air. Besides being the day I was born, the energy flowing from the stage was hypnotizing and spiritual. Maybe turning a year older opened up some senses I never had or long forgot about. All I know is that, simply put, this show was strictly for grown ass folks. That was very clear during the highly-energetic opening of Gimme. “Let me sock it to you like a grown woman can,” said Jill, who placing much emphasis on “grown,” looked absolutely FABULOUS in what appeared to be a black skirt, decorative black and white three-quarter’s sleeved shirt and VERY high-heeled black peep-toed shoes. Moving back and forth across the stage, she owned every inch of the space. “Ladies and gentlemen, live music in the house tonight! Is that alright?” she exclaimed before launching into The Way. Obviously a major fan favorite, she sang us through the first verse and ended the song with words of wisdom for the ladies, “It’s alright to be nice and say thank you for being good to me.” From the saxophonist (who just happened to be Mike Phillips, a former label mate of Jill’s, who has released three albums of his own), to the drummer to the guitarist, trumpeter and on, it is apparent that Jill has assembled a team of outstanding, high-quality musicians who are great at showcasing the pure elements of a live show. The backup singers (aptly called “The Pipes”) had a New Edition-esque vibe with their choreographed dance routines – at one point, during It’s Love two of the singers broke into the Kid N’ Play. At another point of the show, she remarked, “Live music makes you live on forever!” The way she revamped and reworked Crown Royal made her comment all the more poignant. Jill, the actress, went into full effect while reenacting Crown Royal’s lyrics. Talking to her, ahem, lower region, “Put it on ice. Didn’t I tell you to behave yourself? Stop talking to me!” During the second verse of Hate On Me, the lyrics changed to, “Somebody mad at your blessings. Pissed off cause somebody loves you. Somebody mad at the way you’re dressing. Pissed off cause you got a little more money for ya. Somebody mad . . . I love you anyway baby! “I’m putting on my invisible shield; walking into the belly of the beast. Smiling as I go. Telling everybody ‘Yo, what’s up? You feel good? I hope you do!’ Can’t nobody stop you. Every single blessing that’s yours – it’s yours, it’s yours, it’s yours, it’s yours! Can’t nobody do a thing about it.” In addition to old material, Jill blessed the audience with not one, but three new joints. The first was about being free to get herself together for what’s coming; the second focused on being shattered, but a man coming along and putting her back together; and the third had a straight up, back in the American Bandstand day’s type of feel. Part of the lyrics: “Bobby don’t love nobody but me!” This show helped me realize why I love and have seen Jill live so many times – she intently sings the meaning behind each and every word. When she says, “I’m more than a toy for your satisfaction,” or “Tired of being strong all day,” you BELIEVE her. It’s obvious when she’s on stage that Jill intends to give the audience everything she has – and then some.

Report as inappropriate

Jill Scott is without a doubt one of the most fun, infectious personalities you will see perform live. She oozes charisma and friendliness as she steps onto stage with her supporting band and they clearly hold each other very dearly having played on the circuit for many years. She addresses the crowd with an equal fondness, having a brief catch up of sorts with them before beginning the sets and everybody is now in high spirits.

Her soulful voice is incredibly well trained and she uses the first couple of numbers to simply demonstrate the abilities and range that she attains. The crowd cheers her on forcefully and she laughs a grateful laugh before thanking them for being so vocal this evening. The level of proficiency remains high tonight as Jill effortlessly shows the jazz and neo-soul influences that inspire different types of her music. The musicians are also well trained and the whole operation comes together effortlessly, she receives a deserved rapturous round of applause whilst taking final bows and leaves with that synonymous grin on her face.

Jill Scott is an American singer that sings in a wide array of genres, encompassing soul, jazz and R&B. A Jill Scott concert is a great experience, one that I would recommend to any fan. She is a force to be reckoned with on stage: she has an incredible confidence and ease about her that just blew me away. She was incredibly playful with the crowd, making jokes and asking us whether we were ready to hear a grown woman sing. The crowd replied with a resolute YES. Jill Scott looked like a real diva on stage, dressed fabulously in an all-white ensemble. Her backing singers and musicians were all of an excellent standard but Scott was clearly the stand out, particularly in her white pant suit. She sang a whole array of hits that spanned the decades of her career, from some of her earliest hits to her latest work. ‘Golden’ was, of course, the golden highlight of the show and was met with a wild crowd reaction. ‘A Long Walk’ and ‘He Loves Me’ were also stand out performances.

I was so excited to see Jill Scott after being a fan for years. I even traveled over 300 miles to see her in Chicago this summer and was highly disappointed. This was my first concert and maybe this is the way artist are, but when folks pay hundreds of dollars just for tickets, not including travel accommodations, I want to hear her sing an entire song and not point the microphone at the crowd, for her as the headliner not to take 45 minutes to come to the stage and finally for her to have the decency to thank the crowd for coming out in a more meaningful way than thank you and good night. The other acts that I was interested in but not really there to see had way more gravitas and appreciation not only for their craft but for the folks who made it possible for them to be there. I personally will not spend another dime on Jill Scott. Sadly, disappointed, I just can't do it.

The opening act was great, but I could not keep my eye off the keyboardist. I kept thinking of Wendy in Prince & The Revolution. I thought she was amazing and want to know more about her as a musician. Why am I not giving the name of her band? Because I have no clue. No one did... Search on-line and there is no information I could find in 30 seconds. (If I can't find it in 30 sec or less, the information isn't worth it.)

After the opening act, or was it before??? There was a poet who did an amazing job with spoken work. Talk about foreplay, I was all hot and ready to go before Miss Jill Scott came to the stage. Her poetry was very uplifting, powerful, affirming, female-centered and strong. (She didn't leave us men out, but we know what's up and when to step back and listen. And we did!!!)

Then Miss Scott came one. Go see her. There is my review.

This is the first time ever seeing Jill and I must say I was blown away by how much energy she puts into her performances. Her unmistakable voice and ability to story tell, rhyme and speak directly to listeners really shine through.

A huge disappointment with this show was the sound quality in the venue. I usually don't know what or whom to blame with these things, but it appears a lot more work needs to be done by the sound engineers as many people around we're loudly voicing displeasure. In fact, Jill was stopped at some point through her set to check if people could actually hear her.

Regardless of the sound issues, it was a brilliant gig with very interesting interpretations of her most popular songs across various albums. A very impressive opening by Tish Hyman who made her London debut made it a very solid, soulful night out.

I've seen Jill Scott a few times before (mostly in arenas). It makes complete sense that she truly shines when she is in more intimate settings that allow for her to get up close with her audience and connect. Her brilliant stage presence is to be commended. She needs no sparkle, no fancy backdrops, light show, or props. Her voice is THE instrument that we cannot take our eyes off of. As if it were something visible - her vocal acrobatics awed the crowd last night at the Peabody.

From start to finish, nearly a 2 hour set, she took audience members on a journey, tweaked her plan and customized her performance.

Her backup singers were top notch. The pipes were truly that.

Top favorites from last night include:

Le Boum Vent Suite

He Loves Me

A Long Walk

Do You Remember

It's Love

You Don't Know

Fool's Gold

Crown Royal

Jill Scott sounded AHMAZING! Overall the show was amazing and the energy was awesome despite the show starting late. Opening act poet hit the stage late and had to much time.

Jill Scott hit the stage at 9:10pm and was off the stage by 10:20pm. We thought it was just wardrobe change time. Then the lights came up. We thought okay intermission. Then they rolled her backdrop up and started breaking down the stage.

We didn’t get the journey through her catalog we just got the start of the Jilly from Philly journey. She sounds amazing however for the price paid for her tickets I was hoping to see her on stage a lot longer. It was not worth the money spent on her ticket to see her for one hour ten minutes. With her catalog was expecting at least two hours of her on stage.

Jill was on Fire, her concert was amazing. My wife and i saw her in St Augustine 3 years ago and i didnt think she was going to be able to blow us away again but she did. The first time i saw her live i was mesmerized, but i had to chalk some of that up to it being the first time seeing her live. Come on, It's Jill Scott. Well after seeing her last night its not just shock and aw, its talent, she gives a great live show. Obviously the audience was full of fans that were more than willing to let her know that we appreciated what she was giving and she resiprocated by giving us more. If you are a fan you have to catch this show. If you not a fan after seeing the show you will be one. Shes never been better.

I was seriously disappointed with the show. Jill did not bring the person, the lady from Philly to the stage.

It could have been an album just playing. Little or no personal interaction with the crowd.

In the light of recent events with black people struggling it would have been nice for our lady from Philly who has overcome so much to reach out and inspire or empower the crowd to keep holding on to our dreams.

Why else are you an artist if not to provide a positive impact and message.

First time seeing Jill ...Will not be going to her concert ever again.

It makes me think would she have performed like that back home?

We too have helped in her journey to success.

Jill Scott announces UK 2023 dates

The performances are in celebration of Jill Scott's defining 'Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1'

One of the key voices of neo soul, Jill Scott , has announced several London dates in summer of 2023, as part of an extensive anniversary tour.

The tour originally began as a 20th-anniversary celebration of Jill Scott's chart-topping, genre-defining album Who Is Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol I in 2020, which ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2023 will see the resummation of the celebrations, paying tribute to a moment and movement that continues to enthral music lovers of all ages and backgrounds. Scott will play the iconic album front to back, with hits from her iconic debut album, such as 'Gettin’ in the Way,' 'A Long Walk', and other musical stories.

Originally championed by fellow Philadelphian Ahmir Kalib "Questlove" Thompson , Jill Scott's debut album Who Is Jill Scott? is often marked as one of the pivotal neo-soul albums of the late 1990s and early 2000s, and led to several Grammy Award nominations, including "Best R & B Album" in 2001.

During her career, Jill Scott has gone on to win three Grammy Awards since, in 2005, 2007 and again in 2008.

When are the Jill Scott 2023 tour dates?

The two London dates are happening on the 11th and 12th of July 2023, and are both taking place at the Eventim Apollo, in Hammersmith.

There will also be a performance at the Grand Rex, in Paris, France, on the 15th of July 2023.

These are currently the only UK and European dates announced, but there are an extensive set of USA dates which take place from February until June 2023.

When are the Jill Scott London 2023 tickets on sale?

The presale tickets are on sale from 1000 UTC on the 16 February (on Ticketmaster), with general on sale available from 1000 UTC on 17 February.

Jill Scott Announces Who is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds Vol. 1 23rd Anniversary Tour

LINK TO APPROVED IMAGES & ASSETS

What started as the 20th-anniversary tour of Jill Scott’s chart-topping, genre-defining album,  Who Is Scott?: Words and Sounds Vol I  in 2020 ended prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But good news prevails: in 2023, the tour will resume, electrifying auditoriums, theaters, and music halls throughout the nation in celebration of a moment and movement that continues to enthrall music lovers of all ages and backgrounds. Scott will play the iconic album front to back, with hits from her iconic debut album, such as “Gettin’ in the Way,” “A Long Walk” and other musical stories. The tour, produced by Live Nation Urban, will play in over 20 markets across the country, with special multi-show residencies in Washington, D.C. at the MGM National Harbor on Mother’s Day weekend and Scott’s hometown of Philadelphia at The MET Philadelphia, marking the first time the North Philadelphia native will play at the storied North Philadelphia venue. The Philadelphia stop also includes a fundraiser at the Arden Theatre in support of her non-profit, the  Blues Babe Foundation . 

“My band and I were so excited three years ago, but that damn COVID shut us down,” said Scott. “Now, we outside! Come see me. Come feel again. Relive your favorite moments. Ya’ll ready to settle down and get with this?!? It’s a lot of love here.”

Though Scott had to pause performances during the pandemic, she celebrated the milestone virtually and continued building her brand as a multimedia entrepreneur, launching  “ Jill Scott Presents: J.ill the Podcast”  in November 2020 alongside co-hosts  Laiya St.Clair  and  Aja Graydon-Dantzler . The universally-loved podcast currently has 80 episodes and continues to grow in popularity and influence. Scott also participated in the first woman vs. woman Verzuz battle in May 2020, starred in Lifetime’s  Highway to Heaven  and BET+’s  The First Wives Club , and in September 2021, she became the face of Nationwide, bringing a fresh take on a familiar campaign and putting her soulful spin on the iconic jingle.

Scott released her much-anticipated debut record,  Who is Jill Scott? Words & Sounds, Vol. 1  in July 2000, which became a double platinum album that earned Scott several Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist (2001), Best R&B Album (2001), and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for three years in a row (2001-2003). The album also cracked Billboard top 10 for R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (2001).

Jill Scott announces return of her tour and surprises fans with tickets

Jill Scott is telling fans who she is — again.

The three time Grammy-winning artist told TODAY that she is hitting the road in the new year with her iconic album "Who Is Jill Scott: Words and Sounds, Vol. 1." The album, which was released in 2000, is famous for hit songs like “A Long Walk” and “Gettin’ in the Way.”

"Based off of all the Instagram comments, and the emails we've been receiving, I'm going to go on tour," she said.

Tickets for all 20 dates are on sale on her website and will kick off Feb. 28 in Georgia.

She planned to do an anniversary tour of the album in 2020 to celebrate the 20-year anniversary, but the pandemic derailed her timeline. Three years later, and the artist is celebrating that her original plan is back on.

"We were going to do the entire album from beginning to end because people really seemed to love it and we wanted to present it that way," she said. "It's great musicianship. It's a lot of energy and sincerity oozing all over the stage. I'm really excited for everyone who wants to sing along."

Scott said "it’s like a warm hug" when fans sing along. "It’s all fuzzy and delicious."

But before heading out on tour, Scott shared that she prioritized spending quality time with her son, Jett, 13.

“I like him. I really, really like him. I think he’s one of the coolest people I’ve ever met. He’s a lot of fun. We went on a trip to Botswana for his bro-mitzvah, yes,” she said, referring to the Jewish coming-of-age tradition at age 13. “And I gave him some Paris, and some Botswana and some Amsterdam and we had the time of our life. Just him and I because those teenage years go by fast.”

Getting back on stage means she has to get back into performance mode and that takes some time, she said, even with her experience and credentials.

"I'm terrified," she said. "It matters to me so I'm nervous. It's been two years. I haven't really been on many stages, so there's a lot of preparation internally as well as externally. I gotta get on the treadmill and sing on it."

The 50-year-old admitted that "it is taxing," but added that it's definitely worth it.

"It's also spirit lifting and I'm excited for that," she said smiling. "To have touched so many people — and the age brackets. Some people bring their 5-year-olds and there's 80-year-olds and that means a lot as a song writer. It means a lot as a vocalist and as a girl from North Philly. It matters."

TODAY co-host Sheinelle Jones agreed when Scott said her fan base is generational, so she brought in a mother-daughter duo in from the plaza who are both superfans.

And then they got the ultimate surprise: tickets to Scott's new tour.

"We wanted to surprise you both," co-anchor Craig Melvin said. "You're going to go see her show." They screamed and jumped in excitement.

"Let me tell you something, when you see Jill Scott in concert it's these two (and their excitement) times a million," Sheinelle shared.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Bob Dylan announces 2024 UK tour but has controversial rule for fans

Share this with

In a huge announcement, Bob Dylan is heading on tour this year but fans might want to think twice before booking tickets.

The Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door icon has banned the audience from using their phones to video or photograph the event.

That’s right, all filming will be prohibited when the 83-year-old singer takes to the stage for the Rough and Rowdy Ways 2024 UK tour.

Bob — who is the next to get a biopic film of his life — will perform 10 UK shows in November 2024, including three nights at the historic Royal Albert Hall in London .

The Rough and Rowdy Ways tour will finish the US leg in September before kicking off the European leg in Prague, Czech Republic on October 4.

For his UK gigs, Bob will travel from Bournemouth to London, with stops in Edinburgh, Liverpool, Wolverhampton, and Nottingham.

The shows are in partnership with Yondr, a company which specialises in phone-free experiences.

According to their website, phones are secured in pouches upon entry to the gig’s designated phone-free areas.

Fans will keep hold of their phones the entire time but cannot get them out of the pouch without entering a specific zone or tapping the unlock point as they leave.

Bob is aiming for a ‘historically resonant and unforgettable event’, especially at his Royal Albert Hall closing performances

Organisers hope that by removing fans’ ability to use phones, the concerts will be more ‘in keeping with many past performances’.

The tour stops at huge venues such as the Motorpoint Arena in Nottingham and Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena.

Bob is also set to visit the newly refurbished Civic Hall in Wolverhampton — a venue which has played host to the biggest musical artists of all time from Bob Marley to The Who to David Bowie.

The smaller venue hosts around 3,000 guests, compared to 5,200 at the Royal Albert Hall, and 11,000 at the Liverpool arena.

The Blowin’ in the Wind hitmaker will take to the stage at around 7.30pm each night, except for the three London gigs, when his start time is 8pm.

Tickets for Bob Dylan’s UK 2024 Tour will go on sale on July 19 and will be available to purchase here .
