Vocalfest Continues this Weekend with Gregory Generet and Lezlie Harrison 4/16-17

Vocalfest, presented by JazzMobile, kicks off its second weekend this Friday, April 16 and Saturday April 17 at Showman's. Vocalfest, Jazzmobile's month-long celebration, is held in honor of Jazz Appreciation Month. Gregory Generet, a Showman's performer, will frontline Friday's show. Lezlie Harrison will showcase her unique style--70's soul combined with jazz, for Vocalfest's Saturday night performance.

Gregory Generet has performed throughout New York City with sold out shows at Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola at Jazz at Lincoln Center and the Highline Ballroom. He has performed in Paris and Italy. Honing his skills along the way with the talented likes of Mike Renzi, Laurence Hobgood, Eric Reed and Onaje Allan Gumbs. After receiving three Emmy Awards for his work at CBS Network, Generet focused on his own work and in 2009 he released his debut CD, (re)Generet-ion. He has re-imaged the term “Standard” by adding his own vocal flexibility and appreciation for the clarity that is innate to Jazz aficionados.

Lezlie Harrison is often heard around New York City in venues like Sweet Rhythm, the Zinc Bar, and the St. Nick's Pub. Harrison also plays frequently at the Jazz Gallery with her own group, as well as The Roy Hargrove Big Band.
