This week 12.9.24 Monday Jazz @ Brother Don’s features guest artist Eugenie Jones on vocals. Through inspiration and an inexhaustible work ethic Eugenie Jones has transformed herself into a jazz vocalist of impeccable quality, with a respect for the jazz tradition and the courage to try something she had never imagined - a singing career.
Eugenie Jones was not supposed to be a jazz singer. She graduated with an MBA in marketing, and her post-graduate career took her deep within the nonprofit sector as a marketing communications executive. Her mother, a soprano gospel singer, was the singer of the family, and w hen cancer claimed her life, Jones managed her grief by setting out to see if she could carry forward that part of her Mom's life.
Ten years later, the now acclaimed jazz vocalist and songwriter with a heartwarming backstory celebrates her first decade in the jazz spotlight with The Originals, a greatest hits collection of songs from her prior albums, all from her own pen and all released on her own music label, Open Mic Records.
Also in the band Osama Afifi on bass, Ronnie Bishop on drums, Nick Allison on keys, and Chris Bickley on sax. Come enjoy great food, your favorite Beverage, a kid friendly comfortable atmosphere, and World Class Jazz … Hope to see you!
