“Mercedes Nicole has a very winsome way with a song, and she quickly brings your listeners into the message she has for them.”
(Concerning Jazz Vespers) “Mercedes, you had them with your very first tune, and you couldn’t do anything wrong from that moment on… Your voice is so rich and warm, so warm I want to wrap myself in it over and over again.”
Harvey Siders—Jazz Times, 2008
Nicole has released four albums.
