Kelly Park Trio - An Evening of Jazz & Love Songs

With Kathy's vocals at the helm of the Kelly Park Trio, the ensemble encompasses the basics of classic jazz improvisation. The music of this dynamic trio veers in a variety of vibrant directions, but always returns to the strong melody lines that ensnare the listener. Kathy Moehring will be singing love songs (and not so love songs) from the Great American songbook, Broadway and her teenage angst years. Music that makes you feel good as it tells stories about life and love...
