Kendra Shank & John Stowell Duo at Kuumbwa Jazz Center

About

In this impeccable pairing, vocalist Kendra Shank joins master guitarist John Stowell, performing a mix of originals, jazz standards, folk medleys, and free improvisations. Born of an impromptu Manhattan recording session, their new album, New York Conversations, captures their playful, conversational synergy that encapsulates the two musicians’ two decades of collaboration. Stowell’s richly layered chords and harmonies balance out Shank’s vocal textures, enhanced by electronic loops and other effects she artfully employs.
