Confusing sentence about background[edit]

The article currently states that Horn is of African ancestry, but does not expand on this to make it meaningful. Are her parents from Africa? What does "African ancestry" mean in a biographical context--the content is huge, and has many ethnic, racial, and religious groups. Is the article trying to say she a Black American? That's actually a phrase most readers would understand.

Puffery[edit]

This sentence from the intro is not appropriate for an encyclopedia; I deleted it:

By the age of 23, Jazzmeia "Jazz" Horn had earned a reputation in New York City as a dynamic music artist.^[1]
