Nicole Henry

Singer Nicole Henry and her band return to Birdland on Monday, July 15 at 7pm after a sold-out debut. The New York Times, Miami Herald, and Jazz Times Magazine have compared powerhouse jazz vocalist Nicole Henry 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) Celebrating a 20-year recording career with 8 critically acclaimed chart-topping CDs, 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 Henrys. She was also hailed as one of eight Black Artists Making Waves in 2024.
