Ray perfected his craft playing for presidents, vice presidents, various
world leaders and heads of state. He has played with such jazz masters
as trumpeters Marcus Belgrave and Bobby Shew, saxophonists Wendell
Harrison and Ernie Rodgers, trombonists Andy Martin and Bob McChesney,
and guitarist John Stowell. Ray will be performing on a piano provided

 Performing
straight ahead jazz classics, blues, and R&B in a sophisticated, sultry
style that touches and engages audiences, local singer Eugenie Jones
first appeared on the jazz scene in Seattle, Portland and Bremerton.
Audiences have raved over her sound and described her uniquely sultry
voice as one that they could listen to all night. "I never imagined
myself singing before audiences, she says. My degrees and professional
life are in business. My mother was the singer in our familyAfter I lost
her I missed her singing. That led to ask myself, "I wonder if I
can.....?" Voice coaching with Greta Matassa lead me to the discovery
that I have a voice and the heart to share it.” Greta says "Everytime I
hear Eugenie she sounds better and better. I would describe her sound as
a bit of Nina Simone and a lot of soul," Her quartet will bring your
favorite Great American Song Book jazz tunes, blues favorites and
original tunes from Eugenie’s latest CD release. Join us for a very
special evening with one of Bremerton’s brightest talents.
