About
The first concert I ever promoted in Des Moines was the Joe Farrell Quartet in 1972. The pianist in that group was Steve Kuhn, one of my favorite pianists then and still is. Jazzizmagazine described Kuhn’s distinctive sound: “Few other pianists, regardless of genre, can tease such an evocative range of timbres from their instrument. Kuhn’s lower register is as dark and rich as Belgian chocolate, and his upper register has the light, translucent quality of ice-cold champagne.” During his career, Steve has performed with jazz legends such as John Coltrane, Art Farmer, Scott LaFaro, Sheila Jordan, Stan Getz and many more. He will joined at Caspe Terrace by David Wong on bass and Billy Drummond on drums. Expect an evening of breathtaking jazz classics, tunes from the Great American Songbook and some of Steve’s originals. And let’s not forget another version of “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” ...
