Catherine Russell

Friday / September 9 / 8 p.m.

“One of jazz’s most celebrated vocalists,” (San Francisco Chronicle), Catherine Russell is that rarest of creatures: a genuine jazz and blues singer who radiates extraordinary interpretive power. Her vast and brainy repertoire draws from a wellspring of popular songs and hidden gems, music she fearlessly launches into with outright excitement and touching vulnerability. Her newest album, Send for Me, is a swinging, swooning journey through songs made memorable by such greats as Nat King Cole, Betty Carter, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, and her father, orchestra leader Luis Russell.

Tickets: $29 for the general public; $6 for youth and non-Lafayette students with valid I.D. Lafayette students, staff, and faculty, log in with your Lafayette Net ID to see campus benefits.
