The VJC Big Band performs danceable tunes with New York-based vocalist Alexis Cole, who, according to Jazz Times magazine, conveys “an easy sense of swing, strongly reminiscent of Sarah Vaughan.”
Cole has performed at celebrated venues including The Carlyle, Carnegie Hall, Birdland, Jazz at Lincoln Center, & the Blue Note & has also sung as a soloist with the Boston Pops and the Detroit Symphony.
She has recorded a dozen albums as a leader with such luminaries as pianist Harry Pickens and guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli. ...
