NICOLE HENRY AT IRIDIUM JANUARY 19TH
On Friday, January 19, 2007, award-winning vocalist Nicole Henry will
perform at IRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121 -
http://www.iridiumjazzclub.com/
) at 6:30 pm presenting songs from her upcoming CD release "Almost
Like Being in Love." A most beautiful songstress, Nicole carries the
torch as the new, young female voice broadening the scope of traditional
jazz songs, infusing soul, and injecting charisma, passion and heartfelt
'joie de vivre.' Nicole will be joined by a trio.
Her debut CD release "The Nearness of You" earned
high reviews from Billboard, Jazz Times, Cadence Magazine, All About
Jazz, L.A. Jazz Scene, jazzreview.com and many more. They lauded
Nicole as a beautiful, distinctive, potent vocal thespian who could
deliver a power ballad like Whitney, Patti and Diana, and who could
swing with controlled abandon, interpreting a song, making it her
own. Subsequently, her second CD release, Teach Me Tonight released
in Asia, got voted "Best Vocal Jazz Album of 2005" in Japan. Now
with this third release, Nicole gives international listeners even
more artistic spirit to embrace. She soulfully swings, powerfully
soars and touches the core of her listeners. This impeccably produced
and arranged studio CD adds light for Nicole to shine brighter,
and reach even more fans.
The CD features 11 jazz standards including the not-so-recorded
"I Can't Be Bothered Now" (Gershwin), "I Like the Likes of You"
(V. Duke), "What'll I Do" (Berlin), a Betty Carter gem, "Make It
Last" (B. Haymes) and "I'm Gonna Lock My Heart and Throw Away the
Key (Eaton/Shand). Other well-known favorites include Mancini's
"Moon River," another Haymes (and Brandt) "That's All" and the familiar
"Waters of March" by Jobim. The twelfth and only non-standard track
is the memorable "I Found You" by New York's singer/songwriter KJ
Denhert, which is nestled perfectly within the CD, adding to its
overall accessibility to new, as well as seasoned jazz listeners.
