​PITTSBURGH, PA, May 16, 2023 – When the Los Angeles native Georgia Anne Muldrow came on the scene in 2006, she was a best-kept secret – an underground superheroine of sound, who combined J Dilla’s breathtaking beats, George Clinton’s P-funk, Nina Simone’s truth-telling and Sun Ra’s interstellar Afrofuturism. Twenty albums and EP’s later, the secret is out, and today Muldrow is one of this century’s most prolific and pioneering artists. Her towering talents will be on display when she performs in the latest installment of the Uhuru Jazz Sessions at The August Wilson African American Cultural Center (AWAACC), 980 Liberty Ave., in Pittsburgh on Thursday, June 22, 2023, 7:00 pm.Uhuru Jazz Sessions are made possible with support from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.
