Frankie Alexander, a jazz vocalist, and a native North Carolinian, has been in the Triangle area since the 70s. Being a vocalist, she's mad about the words, as proven by her 2007 CD, "Mad About the Words"! Ms. Alexander is part of the history of the Durham jazz scene via of her association with many of its past wonderful players, Yusuf Salim, Bus Brown, Al Neese, to name a few, who congregated at a small, eclectic restaurant/jazz club on Chapel Hill St known as Sallam Cultural Center!
Jerome Wilson of Cadence Magazine wrote, "Frankie Alexander is a very good singer who makes an emotional connection to what she sings, creating performances that are haunting and affecting. Alexander is a vocalists who can bring heart to whatever she sings."
