Words and Sounds Tour was an American concert tour by R&B/neo soul singer, Jill Scott in 2001. The Words and Sounds tour kicked off on January 27, in Atlanta, GA through the end of February.[1] By the spring Jill Scott ended her headlining tour during the winter, she was invited to join rock singer Sting on his US tour. Scott was featured as Sting's opening act for his itinerary of shows for the month of May. Jill Scott was hospitalized for an illness a day after the tour kicked off on May 5, in D.C.[2] She was treated and released with orders to rest for a week, as she would miss the first few shows. She soon recovered and joined Sting on May 15, when the tour arrived in Madison, WI at the Kohl Center.[3]

The tour was later packaged as a two disc CD-set entitled Experience: Jill Scott 826+. The show on Aug. 26th was recorded in Washington, D.C. at DAR Constitution Hall. Disc One includes the actual concert, while Disc Two showcases new material including poetry spoken to music known as "Thickness".
