My experience with seeing and hearing Jill live began on Jat the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA. And that’s saying much because I’ve been to more than 10 Jill Scott concerts. On JJill Scott showed up, showed out and gave a performance that I consider her best concert I’ve ever witnessed. 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. 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. 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. On top of these wins she has received a countless number of nominations for her music, predominantly in the soul and R&B categories. 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. Other notable hits are ‘Golden’, ‘Calls’ and ‘Blessed’. Scott has since recorded three more studio albums to date.Ī few of Scott’s biggest singles include ‘A Long Walk’, ‘He Loves Me’ and ‘The Way’, all from her first album. Her debut album, ‘Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. It led to her being signed on to Steve McKeever's new 'Hidden Beach Recordings' label. This was the start of Scott’s rise to fame. The result was the single ‘You Got Me’, which won a Grammy award. Questlove invited her to join his band in the studio to record a track together. She achieved her breakout in to the music industry when she was discovered by Amir "Questlove" Thompson of the band the Roots. Scott began her career in the performing arts unusually: as a spoken word artist who appeared at live poetry readings.
