David Basse feat. Gerald Trimble

Kansas City is in the midst of a cultural renaissance. Vocalist David Basse has been at the forefront of the jazz and blues community there and Gerald Trimble has been the same to the Celtic and Folk communities that continue to thrive in this Music Mecca. The two diverse leaders now assemble six of New York’s finest name players to join them at Manhattan’s Cutting Room for ONE NIGHT ONLY Friday, July 10th. This event will feature a hard swingin' ensemble with the addition of one of the most unique instrumentalists ever heard. Even in New York, this is an event not to be missed.

David Basse

More than a vocalist, David Basse's voice has come to represent the jazz and blues of Kansas City. The Kansas City Star called him, "The voice of Kansas City". And following a David Basse performance, poet Maya Angelou exclaimed, "I love the soul that is your voice". Since the turn of the century David has hosted The Jazz Scene on Kansas Public Radio, winning the Kansas Association of Broadcasters award. KPR’s jazz department was awarded, “Best Jazz Station - Small Market,” from Jazzweek. In 2010, David became a regular featured performer on 12th Street Jump - public radio’s weekly jazz, blues and comedy jam, now heard in over 100 cities. This personable jazz artist’s latest venture is his syndicated daily radio show; Jazz with David Basse.
