Inspiration usually comes by surprise. Jazz vocalist Nicole Henry can tell us all about it. Sometimes we know there is a certain direction we want to go, but can't figure out what the road looks like. And for a brief, terrifying and always meaningful minute of our lives, we stand in a crossroad to nowhere, wondering what will come next. And that is when it happens. Inspiration comes rushing in, like a blurry shade of blue passing you by. If you are paying attention, something will happen within the limits of your very soul. And that road will be as clear as a Sunday morning. Jazz is Henry's road; the Great American Songbook that blurry shade of blue.
AAJ Contributor Esther Berlanga-Ryan spoke with Henry about how her career has evolved, where it's going, and the importance of arts education.
