Originally scheduled as the Graydon Peterson Quartet, it's now the Peterson-Olson-Epstein trio or POE at Jazz Central, with guitarist Chris and drummer Jay joining ...

At the Detroit Jazz Festival, Kobie Watkins sat in the drum chair in place of Bill Stewart, with bassist Ben Street reprising his earlier role. The band played in the huge Carhartt Amphitheater on the festival's Sunday night, and the crowd spilled onto the adjacent walkways, hillside and into the central space of Hart Plaza. It ...
