The George Kahn Quintet will perform a concert/fundraiser for the Santa Monica High School Jazz Band at The Jazz Bakery, Sunday afternoon, JUNE 5TH from 4 - 6 PM. This ‘all ages’ event will feature The George Kahn Quintet which includes George (piano) along with power players Justo Almario (Saxophone), John Fumo (trumpet), M.B. Gordy (drums) and Dan Lutz (bass).
Opening for George, will be the 17 piece Santa Monica/Malibu High School Jazz Band playing from 4 – 4:30, followed by a full set from the George Kahn Quintet. This afternoon of great jazz is perfect for students, jazz lovers and jazz lovers who have kids but often don’t get out for evening music gigs.
The event will most likely sell-out quickly, so we advise arriving early for the best seating. Doors open at 3:30 PM. The Jazz Bakery is located at 3233 Helms Avenue, Culver City, CA (310-271-9039).
Tickets for this concert are $20. per person; $10. for students. Profits from the show will go towards buying new instruments for the SAMOHI Jazz Band.
George Kahn’s latest CD release “Compared To What?” has been receiving plenty of spins on Radio KKJZ as well as on radio stations across the country. The CD reached #28 on the Jazz Radio Charts and has garnered rave reviews.
“Each song…is chock full of delicious and delightful concepts, all coalescing into a lovely montage of sounds...Compared to What? has few comparisons; its a truly original work.” ~George Harris, All About Jazz Los Angeles.
