Episode Summary
Bay Area vocalist Nicolas Bearde joined Backstage Bay Area to talk about his Al Jarreau celebration at the Joe Henderson Lab. We traced his path from early R&B roots and Motown radio to a mature jazz voice shaped onstage with Bobby McFerrin, and how that journey informs a show that treats Jarreau's music as a living language. Nicolas shares insights on two signature tracks from his catalog, the art of collaboration, and what listeners can expect from this intimate, groove-forward tribute.Playlist
