BIRD & BECKETT CULTURAL LEGACY PROJECT
Kasey and Eric, thinking of their friend in trio times, the plumber’s helper, Lorin.
Due to difficulties with the live stream technology, this performance has been postponed. Watch for their return on a Friday in a month or so. Despite the postponement, Kasey & Eric played two bebop tunes with elan before we decided to pull the plug for the evening–so our 18-year streak of consecutive weekly jazz dates at Bird & Beckett continues uninterrupted!
Kasey Knudsen and Eric Vogler have a long history of playing music together in various configurations. They have worked together frequently with the “Holly Martins†trio, along with vocalist Lorin Benedict.
For this special Bird and Beckett livestream concert, they will bring you their favorite Holly Martins repertoire in duo format, along with a few choice standards, lots of rhythmic twists and turns, and a few free improvisations.
Listen here to a sample of their interplay on the tune SubconsciousLee:
