| Time | 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM |
Jennifer Barnes is a highly sought-after vocalist, educator, and arranger throughout the U.S. and Canada. Referring to her CD recording, “You Taught My Heart”, legendary jazz bassist Rufus Reid said, “Jennifer integrates rich vocal quality, clarity of pitch, and emotion with an additional pivotal skill that sets her apart from other great singers; she sings improvisations that are melodically and rhythmically interesting from the point of view of a jazz instrumentalist.”
Her voice has been featured on television and radio commercials, including Chili’s Restaurant, Epson, Old El Paso, McDonald's, and Kellogg’s. She demonstrates tremendous musical versatility within small jazz group settings but also as a big band vocalist, most notably as the featured vocalist on the Doug Lawrence Orchestra CD, “Big Band Swing”. Chicago Tribune jazz critic Howard Reich reported, “she produces a sumptuous, wide-open sound...yet she threw off ornate lines at quick
tempos with apparent ease.”
Join us for a great night of music!
