Detroit jazz icon Sky Covington steps into a powerful new chapter with Love Letters to Yah: A Return to the Center, an intimate one-woman concert that places her voice, faith, and artistry at the forefront. Taking place Friday, January 23 at 8:00 PM at Aretha’s Jazz Café, this performance marks a defining moment in Covington’s celebrated career.
An 11-time award-winning jazz vocalist and the founder of The Preservation of Jazz, Covington is widely known for producing and curating acclaimed tribute concerts that honor jazz legacy. In Love Letters to Yah, she turns inward, offering a deeply personal musical statement backed by her band Club Crescendo. This is not a tribute show — it is a return to purpose, clarity, and spiritual alignment.
The evening features a carefully curated repertoire including works associated with Abbey Lincoln and Nina Simone, timeless jazz standards, and Covington’s original music. Each song unfolds like a letter — revealing the heart of an artist whose influence has been felt across stages, communities, and generations.
The concert will open with a special performance by Man, setting the tone for an evening rooted in intimacy and truth.
For those who have followed Sky Covington’s journey and wondered what was next, Love Letters to Yah: A Return to the Center provides the answer. She is not stepping away — she is standing fully in who she has been becoming.
