Charles Gatschet Quartet at Dazzle Jazz Club

A messenger of swing, Charles Gatschet was baptized and raised in the Kansas City tradition, having worked with Step-Buddy Anderson, Claude "Fiddler" Williams, Baby Lovett, Richard Ross, Jimmy Witherspoon, Carmel Jones, Bobby Watson & Tyrone Clark. He also is a talented composer, with an affinity for bebop, Brazilian and world music styles. He's got chops but what he is interested in is communication and meaning, using the tools of jazz to interpret tunes and standard songs in a personal way while leaving their essence intact. Gatschet has studied theory and arranging with John Elliott and Classical guitar with Doug Niedt. He has gained valuable experience playing swing, blues, and funk in organ trios and various groups. His favorite guitarists include Jim Hall, Ed Bickert, and he points to Freddie Green and Charlie Christian as his foundational influences. "They are the cornerstones on which all subsequent jazz guitarists have built." ~ Jude Hibler, Jazz Link Enterprises....

“I again have the pleasure of playing at Dazzle with my friends Eric Gunnison piano, Ken Walker bass, & Paul Romaine drums. It’s always a joy to play with these great musicians. Please join us for a night of original music and jazz. Thanks to Dazzle Restaurant & Lounge, Jazz89 KUVO & the great city of Denver for their support.” Charles Gatschet
