Heralded by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Japan Times, El Pais, Jazz Times, Essence and more, Ms. Henry tells real stories through repertoire from the American Songbook, classic and contemporary jazz, contemporary standards, blues and originals. At this special performance, Nicole Henry features an exquisite collection of songs recorded by the renowned songstress, Nancy Wilson. Nicole celebrates Nancy Wilson's legacy from a perspective that captures the strength and sensitivity of the legendary song stylist, and reinvents her most-popular hallmarks like "Save Your Love for Me" and "How Glad I Am;" as well as lesser known jewels like "The Real Me." "I had the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman whose every gesture and inflection conveyed confidence and mastery…. time and again she invested familiar songs with an extra fillip of conviction and made you reconsider the words." - Stephen Holden, The New York Times "…That predicted time of greatness has arrived. Nicole Henry emerges hands down as this generation's First Lady of Jazz." - Sean Martinfield, Huffington Post write your comments about the article :: © 2016 Jazz News :: home page |
