Vanessa Rubin
Jazz vocalist Vanessa Rubin played on Friday, September 29, at 9 p.m. at Detroit’s Cliff Bell’s, delivering her clear, warm voice rooted in Caribbean and jazz traditions, backed by an outstanding organ trio.
Vanessa Rubin is known for her crystal-clear, warm, and playful vocal style, blending influences from her Trinidadian-Caribbean mother and Louisiana-born jazz musician father. At Cliff Bell’s, she was accompanied by Perry Hughes on guitar, Duncan McMillan on organ, and Gayelynn McKinney on drums. Rubin draws inspiration from artists like Nancy Wilson, Lambert, Hendricks & Ross, Blue Mitchell, and the Motown girl groups such as the Supremes. The show was a true jazz celebration in Detroit.
