jesse
Jesse combines the skills of vocalist, pianist and songwriter. As a singer, Jesse has a lustrous vocal tone well suited to jazz. According to a Seattle paper, "All the crooners vying for Frank Sinatra's throne had better watch out." A gifted performer and songwriter, he is equally at home writing thoughtful jazz ballads and up tempo gospel tunes to hard-driving hip hop and funk. All of this finds its way into the material he writes for the Trio. Distinguished jazz artists Ingrid Jensen and Diana Krall have given glowing reviews of his songwriting. He left the Peters Drury Trio in January of 2004, and currently resides in Lethbridge, Alberta. Among other things he heads a Christian hip-hop group called Paramedic.
