Nicole Henry Teach Me Tonight (2 LP)

Venus Masterpiece Collection Limited Edition 180g Vinyl Double LP!
An even deeper jazz set than Nicole Henry's first album — recorded with the Eddie Higgins Trio, and done in a style that's traditional, yet extremely soulful. There's a sound here reminiscent of Carmen Lundy — as Nicole's singing jazz, but doing so in a mode that's never draped with any of the torchy cliches of other singers — and which is as informed by a history of soul music as it is more standard influences from jazz.
The American jazz singer Nicole Henry has many enthusiastic followers in sound-loving Japan, where she has been awarded various prizes in the scene. "Teach Me Tonight" reached number 1 in the Japanese charts; the audiophile release by Venus Records once again wraps the wonderful recording with the Eddie Higgins Trio in a neat robe.
Venus LPs are pressed only once. After the first edition has been sold, the titles will be removed from the catalogue. Collectors should therefore consider buying in good time.
