SUMMARY:Seattle Jazz Vespers: Nicole Yvette
LOCATION:SFBC Sanctuary\, 1111 Harvard Ave\, Seattle\, WA 98122
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, December 6 at 6:00pm Nicole Yvette—vocals\, Shawn Sc
 hlogel—piano\, Mark Ivester—drums\, Grace Caste—bass\, and Martin Bu
 dde—guitar Nicole Yvette is a Seattle-based jazz singer\, songwriter\, a
 nd bandleader. Her music carries the harmonic sophistication and improvisa
 tional spirit of jazz\, shaped by a life spent listening deeply\, writing 
 honestly\, and performing with intention. Raised in Southern California\, 
 Nicole Yvette began singing in church — including her father’s — whe
 re she developed a musical foundation grounded in spiritual intimacy\, com
 munity\, and emotional truth. In high school\, she expanded into musical t
 heatre and began writing songs\, discovering early that composition would 
 become central to her artistic voice. In college\, she formed His Beloved\
 , an acoustic ensemble performing her original music throughout Denver. Sh
 e went on to serve as a worship leader in some of the city’s largest chu
 rches and became a founding member of Dave LeMieux and House of Soul — a
  14-piece jazz ensemble that toured nationally and internationally and rec
 orded multiple projects. She was also featured as a vocalist with Denver B
 rass. After relocating to Seattle\, Nicole Yvette built a place for hersel
 f in the city’s jazz community through study\, performance\, and consist
 ent presence. She has headlined sold-out shows\, held residencies at belov
 ed local venues\, and performed for corporate and cultural events includin
 g Seattle Arts & Lectures and Microsoft. Her debut solo album Say Yes — 
 produced by three-time GRAMMY® winner Sara Gazarek and featuring Kurt Ell
 ing\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, Joel Ross\, Larry Goldings\, Keyon Harrold\,
  and Paul Cornish — is a fully realized jazz statement. Nicole Yvette’
 s original songs anchor the album\, meeting the tradition on its own terms
  while bringing something new to the conversation. As Gazarek shares: “I
  knew the first time I heard Nicole Yvette’s music that this was a voice
  that needed to be heard. There was an unmistakable clarity in her sound\,
  not just of tone\, but of intention.” Nicole Yvette is stepping fully i
 nto her own artistry — creating boldly\, leading with intention\, and ch
 oosing this moment because it is the right one. Keep up to date with the l
