Together, Capathia Jenkins and Louis Rosen are breaking new ground in with a mix of smart, pitch-perfect-to-the-moment songs from their four recent albums, including their latest disc “PHENOMENAL WOMAN:  The Maya Angelou Songs.” Whether the words are by African-American icons such as Maya Angelou, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes or Rosen, the music offers a unique and thrilling blend of jazz, blues, soul, folk and pop styles. These are songs that trace the broader patterns of life – love, politics, loss, family, choices, memory and the passage of time.  Capathia and Louis are hot, cool and irresistible.

Jenkins starred on Broadway in Newsies’, The Civil War, The Look of Love, Caroline, or Change and in Martin Short-Fame Becomes Me.
