Say Yes gathers that history into 13 digital tracks produced by Sara Gazarek—with Kurt Elling, Joel Ross, J. Ivy, Keyon Harrold, Terri Lyne Carrington, Lenard Simpson and Paul Cornish entering at specific points.\n\nThe Royal Room show is a different proposition. None of those guests is billed. Shawn Schlogel, Andrew Renfroe, Christian Euman and Michael Glynn have to turn a 67-minute studio constellation back into one working band around NicoleYvette.\n\nThe bridge is “Let’s Get Away”: Schlogel co-wrote it, Renfroe plays in NicoleYvette’s official live video, and the album places it last as a bonus track. The songs already know how to change rooms.\n\nSUN 30 AUG · doors 6 · music 7\nTHE ROYAL ROOM · SEATTLE\nOnline tickets currently unavailable; confirm door inventory with the venue.\n\nFull story: https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/nicoleyvette-say-yes-seattle-2026\n\n@thenicoleyvettewalters @royalroomseattle","hashtags":["#NicoleYvette","#SayYesAlbum","#SeattleJazz","#VocalJazz","#RoyalRoomSeattle"],"mentions":[{"role":"voice, songwriter and bandleader","name":"NicoleYvette","handle":"@thenicoleyvettewalters","verifiedBySourceId":"nicole-about"},{"role":"guitar","name":"Andrew Renfroe","handle":"@andrewrenfroeguitar","verifiedBySourceId":"andrew-official"},{"role":"drums","name":"Christian Euman","handle":"@christianeuman","verifiedBySourceId":"christian-instagram"},{"role":"venue","name":"The Royal Room","handle":"@royalroomseattle","verifiedBySourceId":"royal-event"}],"slides":[{"order":1,"url":"https://jazzdatebook.com/featured-shows/nicoleyvette-say-yes-seattle-2026/social/01.jpg","alt":"Cover slide with cyan and orange circles: NicoleYvette plus Say Yes.
