Vanessa Rubin brings her trio to Birdland Theater for three nights of swinging jazz. With nine critically acclaimed albums to her name, Rubin has been a fixture on the jazz scene since the 1980s, known for her clear tone and easygoing stage presence. Her 2019 release, The Dream Is You: Vanessa Rubin Sings Tadd Dameron, earned a nomination for Outstanding Jazz Album at the 2020 NAACP Image Awards, and her earliest recordings reached number one on radio, featuring legends such as Frank Foster, Cecil Bridgewater, and Kenny Burrell.
