Karen Marguth & One Hot Jazz Combo .....music of the 30’s and 40’s...

Karen Marguth and One Hot Jazz Combo
Fresno, California, USA
www.jazzfresno.org
Genre: Music

60 minutes
Rated: G
Latecomers within 15 minutes.
Disclosures: All ages. Monster musicians, crazy improvisation, and hot licks.

“In the 1930’s, if you had a lot of money you had “heavy sugar.” Well, if musical talent was currency, this band would be some off-the-hook-extremely-heavy-sugar. Five individually amazing musicians have joined together to perform some of the best music ever written, jazz of the 30’s and 40’s.

Karen Marguth’s pure, sensual, crisp vocals will be highlighted by the musicianship of none other than Armen Nalbandian on piano, Rich Severson on guitar, Kevin Hill on bass, and Gary Newmark on drums. Rarely does a combination like this come together, and you won’t want to miss it.
