TKC's favorite part of the holidays . . .
KICK OFF THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH KANSAS CITY'S GREATEST LIVING JAZZ MAN!!! DAVE STEPHENS IS BACK IN TOWN AND HE'LL BE PLAYING WITH THE BEACH NUTS TONIGHT AT JARDINE'S!!!
Background on Dave if you don't already know: He got his start right here in Kansas City and played every imaginable venue in town TWICE. Demand for his VERY SPECIAL kind of JAZZ AWESOME led him to the left coast and now he tours nationally, shows up on your TV screen from time to time and basically TURNS OUT every gig he plays.
Seriously, Dave Stephens is a MODERN DAY JAZZ JUGGERNAUT and one of the most talented performers ever to emerge from the Kansas City music scene.
Last year, Dave Stephnens defined the holidays in Kansas City as a subject of a feature story in The New York Times.
Tonight he's playing at my homie Beena's place: Jardine's on 4536 Main Street @ 7 and 10 in the PM. If you a chance, be sure to check him out!!!
TKC's favorite part of tonight's show . . . THE 2ND ANNUAL LIGHTING OF THE CHRISTMAS DRUMS!!!
The ONE time you ventured out to hear jazz in KC, it just happened to be Dave Stephens, apparently. Does Beena provide you with a cum towel?
ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteloser entertainment, natch
ReplyDeleteDave is pretty good. Tony not so much.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the number of exclamation marks and atom bomb pics Tony would post if Eric Bowers photographed a Dave Stephens performance?
ReplyDeleteNow THATS where the Occupiers should hold a Mic Check.
ReplyDeleteTony,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the heads up. caught the 7 show last night it was everything you z said out would be. Happy thanksgiving.
Jim
How dare you sir.
ReplyDeleteFail. Dave Stephens is the antithesis of good jazz.
He is to Jazz what Kiss is to Rock, only less. All style, no chops.
He'll always be a bad waiter at Fedora to me.
