Award-winning jazz vocalist Nicole Henry returns to Arts Garage with guitarist Tim Jago to weave a beautiful tapestry of music and storytelling, traveling through decades of songwriters and multiple genres while highlighting memories of Nicole’s life and 20-year musical career. With songs from the 1930s to present –including Doris Day, Joan Armatrading and even legendary pop icons like George Michael — it will be an intimate night of glorious music, unbridled, loving energy, and unrestrained joy.

Cuong Vu was born on September 19, 1969 in Saigon, Vietnam and immigrated to Seattle with his family when he was six. At 11 he began to play the trumpet and later received a scholarship from the New England Conservatory of Music.
After graduation, in 1994 Vu moved to New York City and formed the group Ragged Jack with Jamie Saft, Andrew D’Angelo, and Jim Black. Since that time he has worked with Laurie Anderson, David Bowie, Dave Douglas, Myra Melford, Gerry Hemingway, and Mitchell Froom.
While a member of the Pat Metheny Group, he won two Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Jazz Album: Speaking of Now and The Way Up. Cuong worked with Metheny mainly as a trumpeter, but also contributed vocals, guitar and various small percussion.

Trumpeter Cuong Vu has recorded eleven albums as a leader, thirty-three as a sideman, and continues to lead his own band with bassist Stomu Takeishi and drummer Ted Poor.
