And that's just a sample of what the critics are saying about vocalist Dwight Lenox. For more than 20 years, his rich tenor voice and dynamic presence has captivated audiences around the country.
Growing up in New York, Dwight honed his talent in the church choir. He went on to study and perform musical styles as diverse as country and rock 'n' roll. But his gospel roots, combined with such childhood influences as Nancy Wilson, Nat Cole and Sarah Vaughn, made jazz a natural showcase for his talent.
From blues to ballads and jazz to swing, Dwight shines. His impeccable instincts and mellow sound have garnered the attention of some of the finest musicians in the industry. He's performed with Sammy Tucker and renowned organist Hank Marr. He's been showcased alongside the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Bobbie Humphrys, Ramsey Lewis and Herbie Mann. And as featured vocalist with the 17-piece Columbus Jazz Orchestra, he's shared the stage with Harold Jones and Carmen Bradford.
Dwight's fluid style lends itself to a vast repertoire from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, James Ingram, Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls and many more. But his raw abilities are uniquely evidenced in his performance of original music. He's sung on numwerous recordings, including works for commercial and corporate use. He's an accomplished studio session singer. And not surprisingly, Dwight is a talented songwriter himself.
Performing at galas, fund raisers, private parties and clubs with his own band The Lenox Avenue Express. Dwight's career has taken him from New York to LA to the heart of the Midwest. Once you hear this gifted vocalist, you'll agree that this is the start of a long, and successful musical journey.

One night a friend dragged me out to a show that was a mix of talent and styles. Mostly I was bored, but when this guy named Dwight Lenox came out and started singing I was absolutely floored. Yeah, right off I bought this cd out in the lobby and later I got his Christmas cd, too. It's sad, but I just don't find singers of standards anymore who are this good. He's the real thing, and that's no exaggeration. If you felt, as I did, that Rod Stewart just murdered the American standards, then try this cd instead. When these same songs are put in Lenox's tender care, he polishes them and loves them and delights in sharing them. This guy deserves a national stage, he really is that good. I play this cd right alongside Sinatra and Krall and there is no drop off in talent, I'm telling you.
