Now's the Time: Krystle Warren

Earlier today I told a fan of experimental rock and female singer-songwriters that if he attends one jazz concert in 2013, its should be Gretchen Parlato's appearance Saturday at the Folly Theater. Here's why. That said, I'm choosing to shine Plastic Sax's dim spotlight on Krystle Warren's return to Kansas City. The modern day version of Nina Simone is better known in France than in her hometown.  Warren, Brad Cox, Jeff Harshbarger and Mike Stover play the KC Live stage in the Power & Light district on Sunday.  Solomon Dorsey, another native of Kansas City, accompanies Warren in the embedded clip.
