Very Special Event!
Extraordinary Singer, Songwriter and Recording Artist
First time on the intimate JBT stage!
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.
Eleven years have passed since the MBA graduate marketing communication executive released her first album. Those who have witnessed Jones' remarkable career trajectory agree that she is where she was destined to be—writing songs and standing behind a microphone.
Since she burst on the jazz scene in 2013, the award-winning, Seattle-based vocalist, composer, producer, and legacy activist Eugenie Jones has been one of our time's most evocative and evolving artists. NEA Jazz Master and bassist Reggie Workman described Jones as "an extraordinary singer, songwriter, and a source of light we're fortunate to experience." Thomas Staudter of The Gazette/New York lauded Jones for her "tremendous talent, tireless energy, and buoyant spirit," and Mark Holston of Jazziz praised Jones for her "…keen sense of phrasing, [which] makes her extremely persuasive. Like a veteran horn soloist, she slides effortlessly from one octave to the next, always landing on the right, pitch-perfect note."
Jones displayed all those attributes on her first five releases: **Black Lace, Blue Tears** (2013), **Come Out Swinging** (2015), **Players** (2022), the soulful jazz derivative **Players 1.1** (2023), and **The Originals** (2024). With the release of her sixth album, **EUGENIE** Jones extends and elaborates on her jazz-honed, vivid, and vivacious vocals. Jones' vocals, which have been praised by legendary bandleader Joe Chambers as "Excellent" and capable of encompassing multiple idioms, are a true testament to her musical prowess....
