About The Artist
Eugenie Jones is described as a performer that makes audiences feel jazz. Vocally described as possessing, “A voice that covers words like pieces of silk covering precious stones,” Jones is an emotive, engaging song stylist that entertains, dazzles and decisively wins over audiences. (Charles Mudede)
Reminiscent of style and sophistication of iconic vocalists of the past, Jones sings and scats her way vivaciously through mainstream jazz, but also draws listeners inside contemporary story lines, sharing original tunes that have earned her recognition as a cleverly gifted lyricist
ABOUT THE VENUE

Debbie McClain, owner of Sankofa Aban B and B and Eric Lemons an accomplished string musician invite you to spend a magical evening These two host present you with some of today's best Jazz artist.
Come see how authentic jazz was donewhen Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn had one of the largest Jazz community around. During the 1930s, perhaps even earlier, one didn’t have to go to Manhattan for the Jazz scene, Brooklyn had it’s own.
Brooklyn held many venues that housed jazz greats like Thelonius Monk, Lena Horne, Carmen McRae, Randy Weston, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Abbey Lincoln, Hank Mobley, Eubie Blake, Ray Abrams, Betty Carter and others. All that eventually changed, and jazz clubs fizzled out in favor of a different generation of music, along with many Uptown and Midtown jazz spots.
DebbieMc, along with Eric Lemons values authenticity and selectiveness, when deciding who to feature and when.
“REMEMBERING WHEN” a celebration of music lived in the hearts of many.
