Who is our next breakout jazz singer? Chances are, they were in Paris this month for the Herbie Hancock International Jazz Vocals Competition. Nate was there too, and now he brings us a field report — including his backstage interview with Malou Oheix, the 27-year-old French vocalist who won first prize, and a few insights from the distinguished judges. This is also a moment to discuss the nature of the competition, how it reflects on the art form, and what it can really do for an artist with an emerging career.
