New York-based jazz vocalist Céline Iris is a recent graduate from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, studying privately with vocalist La Tanya Hall and trumpet player Eddie Henderson. Growing up on swing records from the 1930’s and 40’s, Céline traces her musical roots to traditional jazz. She is also influenced by a wide variety of music, ranging from bebop to funk to classic rock. Fluent in French, Spanish, and English, Céline enjoys using language as a tool to tell a good story, and approaches music as a medium to connect with her audience and fellow musicians.
For this performance, she’s joined by two of jazz’s giants. Dr. Eddie Henderson is a legendary trumpet player who has toured and worked extensively with Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Art Blakey.
