O’s Notes: This is her fifth release, arguably her best. Nicole continues to improve as a dramatic vocalist with her rich soulful voice. “Since I Fell for You” is a perfect match for Henry and one of several standouts. She gets strong support from her musicians, a team that includes Gerald Clayton (p), Kirk Whalum (sax) and Larry Grenadier (b). We really enjoyed the blues on “Trouble in Mind” and the soaring ballad “A Little Time Alone”. Nicole sings from her heart and the session includes many good selections in jazz, easy listening and blues.
