About Jackie Jones
Jackie Jones is a Newark native and a graduate of Arts High School in Newark, where she studied flute and vocals — following in the footsteps of fellow alumna Sarah Vaughan — and of Rutgers University, where she earned a degree in psychology while studying at the Mason Gross School of the Arts with bassist Dr. Larry Ridley, pianist Kenny Barron, alto saxophonist James Spaulding, vibraphonist Steve Nelson, and drummer Keith Copeland. A presence on the greater Newark, New Brunswick, and New York jazz scene since the late 1970s, she has opened for Lou Rawls and performed with Houston Person, Roy Ayers, Nat Adderley, Jimmy Ponder, Christian McBride, Winard Harper, and Cecil Brooks III. Her vocal influences run through the great jazz song stylists — Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, and Etta Jones — and her signature tune is “My Funny Valentine.”
Mt. Zion AME Church, 56 Church St, Millburn, NJ 07041. All are welcome.
Jesus & Jazz at Mt. Zion AME
