CD Release Concert!
The Seattle-based singer-songwriter and legacy activist, Eugenie Jones, made a splash debut in 2013 with her first album, Black Lace, Blue Tears. Since then, she has collaborated with renowned artists such as bassist Reggie Workman and drummer-percussionist Bobby Sanabria and has been celebrated for her own work as a remarkable, versatile artist and an original songwriter.
Recorded live in Seattle and NYC (produced by bassist Lonnie Plaxico), the 13 tracks from the newly-released Eugenie (her sixth album to date) include six originals as well as fresh interpretations of jazz standards and blues, soul, gospel and Latin jazz-inspired songs. With sixteen total participating musicians from the two sessions, Jones’ vocals shine through as warm and sensual: she’s an evocative musical storyteller with well-honed phrasing and a deep emotional connection to her lyrics. Her voice shines in riveting ballads of love, betrayal and resilience.
