These are not the best of times with regard to awesomely talented, absolutely unique artists, which is why the ongoing presence of Jill Scott is so important.
 Scott, who is from Philadelphia, has been a solid success in every venture. That is, as singer, songwriter, poet and actress.
 Scott’s debut album, “Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds, Vol. 1,” released in 2000, created an immediate buzz.

 Each album since that time, among them “The Real Thing” and “The Light of the Sun,” has won critical acclaim and found favor with the listening public, particularly women.
