Zoe Francis is an exception singer. On a visit to New York she was introduced
to the vocal workshops of pianist Barry Harris. This was a turning point for
Zoe. She discovered her love of great songs and lyrics and was encouraged to
pursue singing. Alongside the weekly workshops Zoe began singing in the many
jam sessions held around Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Harlem. This led to her
performing in local clubs with musicians of the calibre of Harry Allen, Joe
Cohn, Warren Vache, and Chris Flory.
