Nicole Henry with Eddie Higgins Trio - Teach Me Tonight

An even deeper jazz set than Nicole Henry's first album — recorded with the Eddie Higgins Trio, and done in a style that's traditional, yet extremely soulful! There's a sound here that's reminiscent of Carmen Lundy — as Nicole's singing jazz, but doing so in a mode that's never draped with any of the torchy cliches of other singers — and which is as informed by a history of soul music as it is more standard influences from jazz. The recording quality is great — thanks to the top-shelf Venus Records standards — and titles include "Summer Wind", "Angel Eyes", "Young At Heart", "Teach Me Tonight", "Lover Come Back To Me", "Cry Me A River", and "Blame It On My Youth." Japanese pressing.

Produced by Tetsuo Hara and Todd Barkan
