Essential Ella: A Tribute to the First Lady of Song

Featuring vocalist Nicoya Baker alongside the Graeme Francis Trio with Ben Clifton on keys and David Craig on bass, this special performance arrives from Doc’s Houston for one night only in San Antonio. Together, the group steps into the golden age of jazz with an unforgettable evening celebrating the legendary Ella Fitzgerald, the voice that defined an era.


From the supersonic scat of "How High The Moon" to the soaring elegance of "Someone to Watch Over Me," each song is performed with heartfelt artistry, honoring Ella’s unmatched style and grace.


Blending swinging classics with tender ballads, the music captures the warmth, charm, and pure joy that made Ella Fitzgerald a beloved icon around the world. This captivating tribute celebrates the spirit and elegance of the First Lady of Song, inviting both devoted fans and new listeners to experience her timeless magic.


As always, our kitchen and bar will be open for service!
