AUDREY SILVER TRIO
Audrey Silver’s voice is like pure sterling. Her phrasing is exquisite, her clarity and enunciation on par with the great Jo Stafford and her breath control is a talent so often, and so wrongfully overlooked rivals Sinatra’s. She honed her craft through private study with singers Shelia Jordan and Mark Murphy. She has worked with pianist Bruce Barth, trumpeter Marcus Printup, upright bassist Paul Beaudry, drummer Anthony Pinciotti, vibraphonist Tom Beckham and guitarist Gary Ciprut.

NICOLE HENRY
2024 marks Nicole Henry’s 20th Anniversary of her debut CD release, “The Nearness of You.” In celebrating, Henry will perform songs from her 8-CD repertoire and tell stories of her journey!
Celebrating a 20-year recording career with eight critically acclaimed chart-topping albums, Nicole Henry is the recipient of a Soul Train Award for “Best Traditional Jazz Performance,” and she has garnered four Top-Ten jazz albums on the U.S. Billboard, JazzWeek, HMV Japan, and U.K. Sweet Rhythms charts. Hot House Jazz said, “Few voices can set a listening room on fire, then let it burn into a cinder like Nicole Henry’s.” The New York Times, Miami Herald, and Jazz Times Magazine have compared her to Sarah Vaughan, Natalie Cole and Whitney Houston for her dynamic range, impeccable phrasing, and ability to connect to a lyric. Whether burning through a swing tune or gently caressing a ballad, Nicole truly makes each song uniquely her own and “aims right for the emotional center.” (Billboard)
Henry has toured in over 20 countries and has recorded with musical greats Kirk Whalum, Julian Lage, John Clayton, and Gerald Clayton. She’s also performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra, Pasadena Pops, Michael Feinstein, saxophonist Paul Taylor and more.
Admission: $35.00 | $7.00 fee

The Jazz Voyager
The Jazz Voyager is taking the next letter of the alphabet and continuing to head west to the Emerald City in the Beaver state. Beyond its world class athletes, home of Nike, and tech giants, this small shire also boasts its love of jazz. Eugene, Oregon is where The Jazz Station is located downtown in the heart of the entertainment corridor. This intimate 70 seat non-profit all-age venue has been a jazz mainstay of the city for over 15 years.
Taking the stage this week is saxophonist Idit Schner and I have the opportunity to do something that I so enjoy, seeing someone perform I’ve never seen before. I look forward to hearing her blend Zimbabwean folk music and jazz. As an educator of classical and jazz music at the University of Oregon, she has received several teaching awards.
The Jazz Station’s address is 124 W Broadway 97401. For more information visit https://thejazzstation.org/.
