Born and raised in Harlem, vocalist Frank Senior is beloved in the jazz community for his style, bravado and sense of swing. Citing his mentor Barry Harris as a major influence, Frank has collaborated with major artists like Valerie Capers, James Weidman, Harold Mabern, Brianna Thomas, and many more. Also active in film and television, Frank’s contributions have been acknowledged by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival “Jazz Voice” Competition, and by the VISIONS Bronx Advisory Board, who gave him a lifetime achievement award. He has performed at jazz festivals in Morocco and Montreal, and in clubs across New York City.

This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the Howard Gilman Foundation.
