Keller/kocher Mid-summer Night's Jazz Party With Sarah D'angelo at Zal Gaz Grotto Club Of Ann Arbor

Ann Arbor Jazz Heroes string bassist Paul Keller and vibraphonist Cary Kocher lead their quintet featuring vocalist/clarinetist Sarah D'Angelo, pianist Adam Mosley and trumpeter Paul Finkbeiner.

Keller and friends bring you swinging, straight-ahead jazz tunes and Great American Songbook material - some familiar, some not-so-familiar, all wonderful and delightful! Their hallmark is their patented blend of the tight ensemble of a big band and the free-wheeling spontaneity of a smaller jazz combo. Always included are plenty of melody, plenty of creative jazz improvisation; nifty intros and endings abound, along with riffs, ditties, diving boards, vamps, send-offs and shout choruses; these musical sign-posts dot the Keller/Kocher landscape and point to on/off ramps on their fascinating and fun jazz highway....
