Singer Jeannie Brooks has been performing in Philly, New York and Europe for many years. Coming from a prominent musical family and raised on gospel, rhythm & blues and all the jazz artists in the Delaware Valley, she has developed her own style of singing that is instantly recognized on concert stages and in jazz festivals from here to Paris. In 1993, Brooks won the People's Choice Award for Best Jazz Vocalist in the Philadelphia area. Don't miss this vocalist; she's got a fabulous band behind her—"New York's Go Trio is a shining example of both a trio's tightness and its elasticity. They play acoustic and electric music, classic and contemporary, swing and funk. If the trio has any one focal point, it's the American Songbook, the definition of which they are working overtime to broaden."—Washington City Paper
