Artist Morgan James will perform during 2014 Winter Jazzfest on Saturday, Jan. 11 at 7:45 p.m. at Zinc Bar in Greenwich Village. Guests will hear her smoky, soulful renditions of songs from her debut album with Epic Records, "Morgan James Live: A Celebration of Nina Simone." The CD offers a selection of songs that show off James' extraordinary voice and her exquisite gift for merging soul, jazz and R&B in a fresh and thrilling new way.
James' performance at Zinc Bar will also include a sampling of tunes not yet heard from her: a glimpse into her upcoming studio album, which will combine old-school pop and soul with classic blues roots. James will be surrounded by a powerhouse band including pianist Roy Dunlap, bassist Jeff Hanley, drummer Tony Mason, guitarist
Doug Wamble, saxophonist Chase Baird, trumpeter Alphonso Horn and trombonist Mike Fahie.
