NICOLE HENRY NOMINATED FOR BEST TRADITIONAL JAZZ PERFORMANCE FOR BEAUTIFUL RENDITION OF BOB MARLEY'S "WAITING IN VAIN"

Fresh off a hugely successful, sold-out US summer tour, internationally-acclaimed jazz/soul chanteuse Nicole Henry has earned a 2013 Centric Soul Train Award nomination for Best Traditional Jazz Performance for her stellar performance of “Waiting in Vain,” off her latest album ‘So Good, So Right: Nicole Henry Live.’    Henry is the only solo female artist in a male-dominated category, placing her in great company with fellow nominees including George Benson (featuring Wynton Marsalis), Jeffrey Osborne (featuring Chaka Khan) and Tony Bennett (featuring Marc Anthony), and Terence Blanchard.  Tune in on Sunday Dec. 1 to watch the broadcast and fans can vote for their favorite online here:


The celebrated ‘So Good, So Right’ debuted at #16 on Billboard’s Current Traditional Jazz chart.  The album showcases her soulful, inspired interpretations of some of her favorite classic hits of the 1970s from iconic artists including Bill Withers, Aretha Franklin, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, The Commodores and Gladys Knight.   Henry’s trademark dynamic live performances have earned her praise from the New York Times as “a jazz singer of pop instinct and cabaret sophistication.” (1/24/13)
