As fans clamored for an encore, the wait is finally over! The jazz extravaganza returns to the "Magic City."
From August 13–16, 2026, the artist hailed as the "Vocal Seamstress" brings her original Grammy-winning Gold Quartet back to the Lincoln Jazz Center Shanghai. Witness the Global Premiere of her new concept album The Devil I Knewon the 2026 World Tour.
This exclusive Shanghai stop is the sole official venue in China and across Asia. Experience this once-in-a-lifetime, time-limited Grammy-level jazz event!
As a core artist at Jazz at Lincoln Center, Nicole Zuraitis’s performances are often described by critics as “the alchemy of sound and space.” Surrounded by the soaring glass façades of Midtown Manhattan, her spontaneous vocals and dynamic interplay with her band conjure an auditory spectacle that feels both intimately personal and expansively grand.
Blending traditional jazz with pop, blues, and folk influences, Zuraitis crafts a musical identity that honors the classics while pushing creative boundaries. Her voice—warm, expressive, and richly layered—carries emotional nuance and technical finesse, inviting listeners into the very soul and depth of her music.
From delicately healing vocal storytelling to daring, avant-garde improvisation; from the global premiere tour of her bold new concept album to a dedicated stage celebrating women in music—this exclusive, one-night-only performance stands as a must-see jazz event of 2026. With this being its sole Asian stop, the rarity and irreplicability of the experience are unmatched. Step into an intimate musical encounter with the Grammy-winning jazz diva, and immerse yourself in the singular magic of her “sonic alchemy.”
