Eugenie Jones
Jazz Vocalist
Eugenie Jones first appeared on the jazz scene in Seattle, WA. Audiences entertained in intimate jazz clubs, exclusive wine bars and restaurants have raved over her sound and described her uniquely sultry voice as one that they could listen to all night.
"I never imagined myself growing up and someday singing before audiences. In my mind my mother was the singer in our family. As my Father directed Sunday morning choirs, her soprano voice rung out over all others and was a constant backdrop around the house.
She lived the last years of her life with me and after I lost her to cancer, over time I found myself more and more missing the sound of her singing filling the rooms of our home and hearts. That longing led me to explore my own ability as a singer and to ask myself, "I wonder if I can.....?"
Seeking an answer to that question led me to Seattle's jazz community, voice coaching with the incomparable Greta Matassa and instructor extraordinaire Kim Abel and most importantly it lead me to the discovery that I have a voice and the heart to share it.
I know you're in heaven smiling at me Mom; likely saying you knew it all along."
"Everytime I hear Eugenie she sounds better and better.
I would describe her sound as a bit of Nina Simone and a lot of soul," Greta Matassa /Jazz Vocalist - Seattle, WA
"Eugenie has a sensitive and soulful sound. Simply beautiful."
