"This is a must-see act!"
Dear friends,
I've seen several great female jazz singers/perfomers, from Betty Carter to Nancy Wilson to Patti LaBelle, over the four decades-plus. Nicki Mathis is no less in their league. I mean that literally. Moreover, there are times when Nicki appears, locally, around western New England, in cities like Hartford, CT and Springfield, MA. Along with Lynn Tracey, an up-and-coming great in her own right, this duo is nothing short of top notch. Their shows are as good as any that you'll see at Birdland in NYC (and I've been to that famous club as both acustomer and an invited guest).
At any rate, I've been catching them, whenever they're doing a show anywhere near my area. I strongly suggest: if you want to have an incredible experience with real jazz music, from real players, check them out!
Cheers!
