Fitzgerald (1917-1996) was known as the First Lady of Song, the Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. Her signature hits included “The Nearness of You,” “It Don’t Mean A Thing,” “Stella By Starlight,” “They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” and “Blue Skies.”

Jones is ranked as one of the top 50 jazz vocalists by International Jazz Week Review, and is a winner of the Earshot Jazz Vocalist of the Year Award. She also won the Earshot Jazz NW Recording of the Year Award.

Jones will sing and scat her way through jazz standards, and draw listeners inside some of her original straight-ahead recordings that have earned her recognition as a gifted lyricist and authentic jazz vocalist. You can listen to her at www.eugeniejones.com.

DownBeat Magazine wrote of Jones’ debut recording, “Black Lace Blue Tears”: “Eugenie Jones brims over with confidence and authority. She sings a number of originals that are invested with aplomb and relish. Ennui, musical deconstruction, primal screaming, horn envy and emotional exhibitionism are not part of Jones’ musical vocabulary. Her strong suit is rhythm and swinging … Her medium-dynamic alto brings an unforced lyricisim to Paul Desmond’s ‘Take Five. 3.5 Stars.’ “

Seattle Weekly reported, “Hearing Eugenie Jones sing, it becomes almost impossible to believe she’s been doing it professionally for only two years. The businesswoman turned jazz chanteuse, who as a child sang in the church choir her father directed, has so much control over her voice, handling both high and low notes with immense care, that she’s nothing short of a seasoned pro.”
