Soulful and elegant vocal mastery riding a bass driven acoustic wave for listeners who are into Norah Jones or Eva Cassidy or just beautiful music.

notes

They may perform folksy acoustic renditions of Jerry Jeff Walker, or gracefully deliver a pop cover from Cyndi Lauper...but in the end, the jazz comes out in every tune.

The trio is lead by Jeni Fleming's powerful and honest voice capable of effortlessly delivering complex Classical and modern jazz dichotomies in one breath, breezy folk tunes with a modern twist and vibrant original pop, in another. Her lush ballads simply drip with so much emotion and strength that her audiences routinely require tissue boxes on every chair.

Rounding out the Trio's full-bodied melodies are Jake Fleming , Jeni's husband, on guitar and saxophone, and Chad Langford on bass. Each accomplished musicians in their own right, both Fleming and Langford add depth to the music while perfectly and intuitively knowing exactly how and when to enhance Jeni's soulful sound.

"Things I Meant To Say" is the first studio effort from the Trio. Again you can enjoy a well chosen blend of standards and originals while experiencing more layers of the Trio than their first album, "The Trinity Tour".

  • Check your insurance before ordering this CD - it smokes

    The version of Ode To Billy Joe has a sax solo by Jake Fleming which lays the groundwork for listeners to be utterly destroyed by Jeni's voice, an observation which could also be applied to other songs on this recording. Highly Recomended !!!

    Stretching the jazz palette into the softness of acoustic folk and the accessible warmth of pop, Fleming's voice carries melody with unusual resonance; she knows how to draw out the sensuality within a line, how to stretch notes like pulling taffy. Backed by the supple voice of guitar, light strings, humming bass, and a number of other featured instrumentalists, Jeni's sweet delivery, reminiscent of Norah Jones, makes for a distinct album as colorful and expressive as the seasons. Within one breath, she can cast a spell that leaves her listener holding his breath, simply by pushing on the subtleties one least expects, letting the mysteries swirl and slide off her release. Truly, this is a generous and bountiful album.
