University of the District of Columbua Professor Christie Dashiell Gears Up for Grammys
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on January 28, 2025 When Christie Dashiell was 7 or 8, she sang a duet with her award-winning father, jazz bassist Carroll Dashiell, Jr. At that moment, she knew she’d have a professional career in singing one day. That day has long since arrived—Dashiell has been gracing stages all over the world for years. Now, with her unwavering determination and exceptional talent, the UDC music professor is preparing to attend the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 2 as a first-time nominee, in the running for Best Jazz Vocal Album for the remarkable “Journey in Black.” “I am extremely nervous and happy,” Dashiell said. “This is something you dream of as an artist. I’m honored and grateful for the recognition.” “Journey in Black,” her sophomore album, is just that—a journey. Dashiell’s voice takes the listener through rich, expressive melodies and spontaneous improvisations. Its groovy rhythms and harmonies create an evocative and introspective atmosphere, making it a truly captivating listen.
