Nicole Henry built her vocal prowess on her adventurous nature for interpreting songs in her own unique style. Over her career, she’s added her definitive stamp to such well-traveled tunes as “Teach Me Tonight” which were memorable hits for Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, and Liza Minelli. With a warm breezy timbre, she reconstructs compositions from the American Songbook, jazz, and pop. For her genre is just a word, not a deterrence.

On January 10, jazz enthusiasts around the world celebrated the centennial of drummer, composer and social activist Max Roach (1924-2007). He was not only a jazz musician, but was also a purveyor of great music, an innovator, teacher, and mentor. He embodied the source of the music from the ancestors and played the instrument of Mother Africa. Roach captured the moans and groans of an enslaved people, the blues of an indigenous society whose government wrapped them in lies and promises, played the gospel of hope, and the fiery percussive riffing of the Black struggle for equality.
