SUNDAY, KEVIN DORN JAZZ TRIO
7:30 P.M. to 10:30 P.M.
Kevin Dorn's Jazz Trio is made up of piano, drums and saxophone. The absence of a bass gives the group a sound rarely heard today. All three musicians get to stretch out on classic tunes from the 20's & 30's.
MONDAY, KEVIN DORN'S TRADITIONAL JAZZ COLLECTIVE
8 P.M. to 11 P.M.
In a recent issue of Smithsonian Magazine an expert was asked to name the best jazz group in New York. Without hesitation he said “Kevin Dorn's Traditional Jazz Collective". Just a little over a year old, it is an exciting and hard swinging six piece band made up of New York's best young jazz musicians.
The group features the unique front line instrumentation of clarinet, saxophone and trombone. The band's debut CD is appropriately entitled Jammin At The Cajun. The young musicians play in the tradition of Fats Waller, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong and Eddie Condon, but with a sound all their own.
