Powerhouse jazz vocalist Nicole Henry comes to Jazz St. Louis celebrating the release of her new CD, Time to Love Again, an eclectic mix of jazz standards and reimagined pop tunes that showcases Henry’s soulful interpretations. Reaching #4 on the U.S. Jazz Radio Chart and #6 on the U.K. Soul Radio Chart, this is Henry’s eighth career release and fourth album to reach TOP 10 nationally.

Whether burning through a swing tune or gently caressing a ballad, Henry truly makes each song uniquely her own and is often favorably compared to Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole for her dynamic range, impeccable phrasing, and bluesy gospel style. Stephen Holden of The New York Times raved, “I had the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman whose every gesture and inflection conveyed confidence and mastery.” Broadway World says, “So powerful is her charisma, so unique is her personality, so rich is her music, so abandoned is her joy that you can't watch her without being drawn in.”

Among her numerous accolades, Henry received the Soul Train Award for “Best Traditional Jazz Performance," “Best New Jazz Artist” by HMV Japan, and “Best Solo Musician” by the Miami New Times. Henry has headlined stages in 20 countries throughout her career and has recorded and performed with such artists as Kirk Whalum, John and Gerald Clayton, the Duke Ellington Orchestra, the Henry Mancini Orchestra and Michael Feinstein.

As the UK Jazz Journal aptly writes, Nicole Henry is “very warmly recommended to those who like the real thing.”

“Elegant yet explosive technique and command for an array of musical idioms” - The Los Angeles Times
