Natalie Jacob has a particular passion for bossa nova, and can also swing with the best of them. A native Angelino, Natalie, spent her high school summers working as an usher at the Hollywood Bowl, where she first heard many of the jazz greats and immediately fell in love with the music. Her upcoming debut solo album, Sooner or Later, showcases her warm, inviting vocals on jazz standards, bossa nova and selections from the Great American Songbook. Produced by Scotty Barnhart, Director of the Count Basie Orchestra and Associate Professor of Music at Florida State University, the album features pianist Tamir Hendelman, Grammy-winning bassist Carlitos Del Puerto, drummer Clayton Cameron, guitarist Anthony Wilson, and percussionist Kevin Winard.
