My very special guest today is world-renowned jazz vocalist Nicole Henry!

Since her first release in 2004, Nicole Henry has established herself among the jazz world's most acclaimed performers, possessing a potent combination of dynamic vocal abilities, impeccable phrasing, and powerful emotional resonance. 

Nicole has toured in 20 countries, headlining at such venues as Blue Note; Jazz at Lincoln Center; Blues Alley; The Smith Center; Kravis Center; Jazz St. Louis; Feinstein’s; Madrid Jazz Festival; and more.  

She earned a Soul Train Award for “Best Traditional Jazz Performance” as well as four TOP 10 albums on Billboard, JazzWeek, HMV Japan & UK Sweet Rhythms charts.

Her soulful interpretations have become a favorite with worldwide audiences and critics alike. 

Stephen Holden of The New York Times raved, “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.” 

BroadwayWorld says, “So powerful is her charisma, so unique is her personality, so rich is her music, so abandoned is her joy…”

On her 8th career release - TIME TO LOVE AGAIN, released in late 2021, HENRY performs an eclectic mix of jazz standards and reimagined pop tunes by a diverse group of iconic composers including Anthony Newley, James Taylor, Rodgers & Hart, Buffy St. Marie, Ned Washington, Stevie Wonder, and Joan Armatrading.

It reached #4 on the U.S. JazzWeek chart, remained in the TOP 10 for 10 weeks & ultimately was the 7th most-played U.S. vocal jazz CD of 2022.

TIME TO LOVE AGAIN also reached #6 on UK’s Sweet Rhythms chart and enjoyed worldwide play on both Sirius XM Real Jazz & Watercolors stations.
