Vocalist Veronica Swift performs a stirring rendition of Dinah Washington’s “This Bitter Earth” backed by members of the SFJAZZ Collective at the SFJAZZ Gala 2023 honoring Randall Kline. Swift is one of Randall’s favorite young vocalists, and she’s been presented many times by SFJAZZ since Randall first heard her at the 2015 Thelonious Monk Competition, where she placed second. The Monk Competition is also where Randall heard Swift sing this very song.
ABOUT THE SFJAZZ GALA 2023
The 2023 SFJAZZ Gala celebrated SFJAZZ Founder and Executive Artistic Director Randall Kline. He is a visionary. Step by step, over 40 years, he grew a small community festival into a San Francisco cultural institution and one of the most influential jazz organizations in the world. After a lifetime of championing this uniquely American art form, Randall is stepping down in November 2023. The SFJAZZ Gala 2023 featured an all-star concert with Ambrose Akinmusire, Regina Carter, Rosanne Cash and John Leventhal, Ravi Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Branford Marsalis, Cécile McLorin Salvant and Sullivan Fortner, Dianne Reeves, Gonzalo Rubalcaba & many others.

Going way beyond music by now, she's a Coltrane, singing my socks off!

Not going to say anything about her tremendous vocal power because it is clear to everybody.
What captivates is her presence & charisma. She feels every tone and transmits sensations seamlessly to the audience/listeners.

Incredible performance! The piano in this song is so smooth and Veronica sings with such passion and is always on point.
I'd like to see a lot more written about Veronica than Randall. She's what's happening here!
And it would be nice to see the musicians credited.
Wow'!!!!!
Wow... What is that? I'm used to Big Maybelle's version... Awesome!
Dinah Washington set the standard for this piece (czcams.com/video/BmEhO1OiEkY/video.html). Tina Turner's version is similar and has the weight of Billy Holiday's Strange Fruit. Veronica's slows down time. Each version is brilliant.
