The Jazz Voyager

Since I’ve been hanging out in the Big Apple for two weeks, I thought I’d head upstate to Tarrytown for a change of seasons and take in the fall colors that are always so beautiful. This week I’ll be at the Lyndhurst Mansion overlooking the Hudson River on the land that was originally hunting grounds of the indigenous Lenape/Munsee tribe that were the first inhabitants of the Hudson Valley. I’m traveling to this location to partake in the Summer Concert Series promoted by the Jazz Forum Arts.

The concert series is free but there is a ten dollar fee to enter the estate. Little expense to view the grounds and be entertained by swing/bop vocalist Nancy Kelly who is headlining this evening. I love being introduced to new places and performers I’ve never heard before. This should prove to be an amazing time.

Lyndhurst is located at 635 S Broadway, Tarrytown, NY 10591. For more information visit https://www.jazzforumarts.org.

Her trademark swing/bop, take-no-prisoners, soulful, swinging style takes us back to when jazz – including vocal jazz – was an authentic expression of genuine emotion.

Please note, a Lyndhurst Jazz Access Pass is required which will be available for purchase online on Lyndhurst’s website or you can pay as you enter ($10 per person).

EUGENIE JONES

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.
