NICOLE HENRY's “Teach Me Tonight" CD #1 on BEST SELLER CHART - HMV, JAPAN



For the second week in a row, the CD collaboration with the Eddie Higgins Trio is #1 on Japan's HMV Vocal Jazz Best Seller Chart. It also finds itself at #5 on the All-Around Jazz Best Seller Chart. (It debuted last week at #2.) A Venus Records release, this CD features Nicole Henry as vocalist, Eddie Higgins on piano, Jay Leonhardt on bass, and Joe Ascione on drums. “Teach Me Tonight" was recorded in NYC by producers Todd Barkan and Tetsuo Hara, and was released March 23, 2005 in Japan. The release is being reinforced with a 2-week, 10-city tour by Nicole Henry. Last night in Osaka, Japan, Nicole Henry wrapped the first leg of the tour with the Eddie Higgins Trio, and the upcoming week will find Henry with New York's Janice Friedman on piano and a Japanese rhythm section.

This is the second CD Nicole Henry has released in Japan. The first CD, “The Nearness of You" (Banister Records, U.S./Norma Music, Japan) was Nicole's debut as a solo artist. It peaked at #2 in Japan for four weeks, second only to Norah Jones, and it stayed in the top 10 sales chart for over four months. Stateside, “The Nearness of You" reached #27 on the Jazz Week radio chart. The past year created many special appearances for Henry including the Lincoln Center with the Juilliard Jazz Octet, as well as the Rainbow Room with the Cab Calloway Orchestra.

Once back in the U.S., Henry will return to the studio to record for a second release on Banister Records and will return to domestic performances. Expect the second Banister Records release in mid-August, as well as a return tour to Japan August 21.
