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

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)
