Alexis Cole Trio on Saturday, February 23


The Jenkins House Concerts welcomes The Alexis Cole Trio, featuring Jazz singer, Alexis Cole on piano and vocals, Steve La Spina on acoustic bass and Kenny Hassler on drums. A departure from our usual Americana style concert series, you will be delighted by the level of The Alexis Cole Trio's musicianship and improvisational skill. This is a rare opportunity to hear timeless standard songs sung by an outstanding singer who is supported by two other jazz greats- all in an intimate setting.

Here’s what critics are saying about Alexis Cole:

“Here is the supreme stylist at the height of her powers…. The search for the next great jazz singer is over.”

—Kevin Jones, Fine Music (AUS), May 2018

“…A beguiling voice and charming…stage manner.”

— Ralph Miriello, Notes on Jazz blog, March 2018

“Cole…displays an exuberant personality, outstanding diction, flawless pitch, and inspired scat technique, all qualities that should place her in the highest echelon of contemporary jazz singers… (She can)…communicate an intimate mood with great passion.”

— Thomas Cunniffe, Jazz History Online, March 2018
