Sidney Jacobs – Vocalist with Quartet

Part of the Sierra Madre Playhouse Jazz Series, curated by Greg Porée

Los Angeles–born vocalist, songwriter, arranger, and producer Sidney Jacobs brings a smooth, soulful blend of jazz, R&B, and contemporary groove to the stage. A member of the legendary vocal ensemble The Fisk Jubilee Singers and a solo artist on the Resonance Records label, Jacobs is known for his velvety tone, inventive phrasing, and heartfelt delivery.

In this performance, Jacobs leads a dynamic quartet through a set that blends original music with reimagined standards, each piece infused with his distinctive harmonic sophistication and emotional warmth. His artistry bridges genres with ease—one moment deeply swinging, the next intimate and introspective.

Accompanied by four of L.A.’s finest musicians, Jacobs creates an atmosphere that’s both stylish and deeply personal. Listeners can expect an evening of musical storytelling that celebrates the depth and diversity of contemporary jazz while honoring its roots in soul, blues, and the Great American Songbook.

Part of Sierra Madre Playhouse’s Jazz Series, curated by guitarist and composer Greg Porée, this concert showcases one of Los Angeles’s most expressive vocalists in an intimate setting where every note feels close, alive, and deeply felt.
