2nd Annual Jazz Party with vocalist Lynne Fiddmont

​Tonight I was blessed by the talents of jazz vocalist Lynne Fiddmont, who’s sung back- up for Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, and Michael Bublé.  During her performance, Fiddmont sang spirituals, R&B, Christmas songs — and one of the most beautiful covers of Stevie Wonder’s “All I Do” I’ve ever heard!

​Fiddmont recently released her “Spirit of Christmas” studio album, featuring covers of traditional holiday tracks, sung in a unique jazzy soul style.

​At Nola’s Restaurant, a cozy venue hidden in the Arts District of Downtown L.A., her voice was the background for the mingling of local music lovers there on December 16, 2012.  Fiddmont and her band’s jazzy sounds — in this artsy spot in the center of downtown, decorated with pictures of Louisiana plantations, jazz singers, and old newspapers — helped make the night with friends and family memorable.

Nicole Powell from Culver City, CA, is a freshman at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), studying communications and journalism.  She plans to pursue a career in music journalism, fulfilling her love for both music and writing.  Currently she hosts a radio show at LMU’s KLMU station and writes for ​The Hollywood Reporter.
