Jesse’s vocal style has evolved from a deep immersion in the work of musicians like Wes Montgomery, Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, Smokey Robinson, David Ruffin, Nat “King” Cole and Miles Davis.  He has developed an original composition and arranging style that conveys deep and personal messages through songs crossing a wide range of musical genres.

For his Bird & Beckett engagement, he’s bringing in a fine group of collaborators — Grant Levin on piano, Pierre Archain on bass and Omar Aran on drums.
