Her melodic, warm vocal presentation captures the essence of Ella and is sure to warm hearts and sooth the souls of those who revere her.

Under the leadership of Saxophonist and Music Arranger, Letron Brantley, the big band sounds of the Dapper Street Jazz Orchestra deliver classical, compelling tunes from the Gershwin and Cole Porter library such as Summertime, Just Another Rhumba and S’wonderful; a telling reflection of Fitzgerald’s repertoire.

THE ARTIST - NICCI CANADA

West Virginia native, national recording artist, Nicci Canada possesses a unique ability to connect with listeners, Nicci uses her voice as a canvas to showcase the truths of the heart and soul. Her warm, sultry vocals are reminiscent of artists such as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Nina Simone, but her amazing sound is unique to the gifts and talents she has been given.  Nicci released her first solo project in 2011 title “Twenty Twelve”, an eclectic mix of melodies that highlighted her unique vocal ability and introduced her to audiences around the world. However, it would be the grace and soulful serenity of Jazz that called to her heart and would deliver her to a world of jazz enthusiasts. She has since gone on to perform with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and the Tulsa Signature Symphony. Nicci is absolutely delighted and humbled to pay tribute to one of the greatest singers of all times.

What a good time I had!” - Vickie L. Evans, Award-Winning Playwright and Jazz Lover​

​"When the show started with highly professional dancers and fabulous music, I knew it was going to be a fabulous night. Nicci’s voice is so well modulated and she sings with an easy grace that will last her for many decades to come! I believe Ella would have been mighty proud of her tribute as the entire audience indicated with a long, standing ovation and cries for more...more!!!”– Jan Jenson – Professional Photographer and Jazz Enthusiast
