Jacqui Naylor Quartet

Friday, February 12 at 8 p.m.

“Naylor remains one of the most superbly arresting vocalists around.” - JazzTimes

“Naylor excels as a sensitive song interpreter with unerring intonation.” - DownBeat

“Jacqui has a sumptuous voice, knack for scratchiness, and an ability to sweeten those bluesy bent notes.” - Village Voice

This velvet-toned vocalist and songwriter is equally at ease singing music by Cole Porter and David Byrne as she is her own original music. Far from a straight-laced jazz purist, Naylor has made the mixing (and sometimes “smashing”) of genres and eras her stock-in-trade, gaining fans and notoriety for singing the lyrics and melody of jazz standards over the grooves of well-known pop and rock songs and vice versa. “Naylor has brought new twists to the notion of melding jazz and pop tunes - without high-tech assistance,” claims NPR.
