discovered this talented young vocalist performing with Capital Focus Jazz
Band

This promising star, Lena Seikaly, won the TJYBF award for Best Vocalist
(Jazz Club

This summer, Lena did a month-long tour of France with the Sanga
Equation (led by pianist John Paul), consisting of 12 gigs in Paris and
France¹s northwest province of Brittany (Bretagne).
    Also in Summer 2006, Lena and the Capital Focus JB performed at the 4th
annual Crystal City Jazz Celebration, organized by our April 2007 guest John
Cocuzzi and featuring another rising star familiar to STJS, Bria Skönberg,
joined by the Allreds, Allan Vaché, Mark Shane, Phil Flanigan and others.

In 2004, Lena performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in the Hague,
Netherlands with Capital Focus Jazz Band. In 2005, the band went to Jazz
Aspen Snowmass Academy, where Lena worked closely with jazz singer Nnenna
Freelon, bassist Christian McBride, and saxophonist/Juilliard professor
Loren Schoenberg.

At just 20 years old, Lena is a regular vocalist for the Kalahari Jazz
Band, the CFJB and Washington Conservatory Jazz Band, the LaSalle Dance
Orchestra, and the Sanga Equation (swing quartet). She has made guest
appearances with the Federal Jazz Commission, New York drummer Eddie Locke,
appearing at national and international venues, from Holland to France to

 The Main Stage comes alive at noon with MAC, a youth Jazz Trio.

At 1:00 and 3:00 PM Lena will be featured, backed by some of Sacramento's
finest musicians.
