And that's just a sample of what the critics are saying about vocalist Dwight Lenox. For more than 20 years, his rich tenor voice and dynamic presence has captivated audiences around the country.
Growing up in New York, Dwight honed his talent in the church choir. He went on to study and perform musical styles as diverse as country and rock 'n' roll. But his gospel roots, combined with such childhood influences as Nancy Wilson, Nat Cole and Sarah Vaughn, made jazz a natural showcase for his talent.
From blues to ballads and jazz to swing, Dwight shines. His impeccable instinct and mellow sound have garnered the attention of some of the finest musicians in the industry.
He's performed with Sammy Tucker and renowned organist Hank Marr. He's been showcased alongside the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Bobbie Humphrys, Ramsey Lewis and Herbie Mann. And as featured vocalist with the 17-piece Columbus Jazz Orchestra, he's shared the stage with Harold Jones and Carmen Bradford. He is one of only two singers to perform with the Ohio State Marching Band, and his rendition of "Georgia On My Mind" is on the bands new compact disc.
Dwight's fluid style lends itself to a vast repertoire from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, James Ingram, Stevie Wonder, Lou Rawls and many more. But his raw abilities are uniquely evidenced in his performance of original music.
He's sung on numerous recordings, including his own albums and works for commercial and corporate use. He's an accomplished studio session singer. And not surprisingly, Dwight is a talented songwriter himself.
Performing at galas, fund raisers, private parties and clubs in, Columbus, Worthington, Indiana, Vail Colorado and with his own trio and his flagship band, The Lenox Avenue Express, Dwight's career has taken him from New York to LA to the heart of the Midwest. Once you hear this gifted vocalist, you'll agree that this is the start of a long, and successful musical journey.
