eugenie jones - jazz vocalist

Eugenie Jones is an award-winning American jazz singer and songwriter with an international fan base. Critics describe her as a warm, engaging entertainer with an electric stage presence and a "smoke & satin" vocal style. Since she emerged on the jazz scene in 2013, the Seattle-based vocalist, composer, producer, and legacy activist has become one of our time's most powerful, driven, and evocative artists.

Jones has twice been honored as the Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year, inducted into the Seattle Jazz Hall of Fame, and is the first vocalist to receive the Earshot Jazz Recording of the Year award. With an MBA in marketing communications, she founded the nonprofit Music for A Cause, which produces events celebrating the legacy of African American music. These events provide work for local musicians while raising funds for nonprofit service organizations. Her efforts to connect jazz with community service earned her the International Jazz Journalist Association's Jazz Hero Award.

Plaxico says of Jones, "It was an honor to produce and perform with Eugenie Jones on her recording. She is laser-focused, full of expression, energy, and passion, with an original and soulful voice. The selection of songs and Eugenie's original music is an

atmospheric experience."  continues... EUGENIE represents a new signpost, a timestamp by an artist continuing her ever-evolving artistry. "It's important to me to know that I'm taking on

new challenges, growing, being more today than I was yesterday. I'm thankful that the outcome of this project reflects that desire."
