The capper of a week-long celebration of jazz guitar, Frank Kohl leads a quartet of top Seattle players. Kohl plays in the Jim Hall vein of the guitar tradition, essentially speaking. His vast understanding of harmony and deep melodic sense is evident from the first note.

It will be interesting and fun to see how Kohl meshes harmonically with Bill Anshell, one of the finest pianists to ever do it in this city. Drummer Max Holmberg is just plain swingin', his best attribute by far. His swing has an ease to it that allows the band to find it's groove. A must three nights for jazz guitar aficionados with Kohl following Peter Bernstein and John Stowell on the calendar! https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
