Kevin & Jorge in Cologne
We’re slowly but surely getting back to normal after a bout of flu-like symptoms knocked us out this past weekend. Unfortunately, our visit to Cologne’s Stadtgarten had to be cancelled. Pianist Kevin Hays and vibraphonist Jorge Rossy made a stop there to present material from their five-paw reviewed album “The Wait”. Thanks to our friend Marcus who provided us with this pic here, we can report that they both excelled on their individual instruments and mostly, playing effortlessly together in tandem and showcasing their beautiful original compositions from the album. Their rapport was fascinating. They also included the Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim classic “Somewhere”.
There are two more shows to go: Tuesday, January 28th at Stockwerk Jazz in Graz and Wednesday, January 29th at Porgy & Bess in Vienna.
Upcoming concerts at Stadtgarten include:
1/29 Kris Davis, Johnathan Blake, Robert Hurst
