Chuck Brown is perhaps more famous among the general public as being a mentor to and collaborator with Eva Cassidy.
He could play and sing jazz though...

What got me thinking of categories is listening to some new music--Snarky Puppy among others--and trying to figure out "was it jazz" and what influences are in there. I can't speak for everyone else, but that's the way my brain works. I don't listen to a piece of music or look at a piece of art without thinking about what came before and how it fits into the larger picture of music and art.

Beautiful duet though. Man, she can sing!!

I was thinking, Joni Mitchell wishes she could sing half as good as Eva. But they’re entirely different singers.
This song is played at funerals, because it’s that beautiful. Eva died young in her 30’s. The world lost a rare and very talented singer and guitarist.

She was influenced by jazz, blues, contemporary, she was so versatile. Thanks for turning me on to Eva Cassidy!

Jazz today is a catch-all term for contemporary acts that formed in music school.
