But, I put my money & my ears where my mouth is & heard the Noah Powell Quartet at Beyu last night. Aside from Kate McGarry we don't have many true jazz vocalists here, but Noah Powell fills the bill & is worth hearing, for his enthusiasm if nothing else. He's at the G2B Gastropub on Friday with the Doug Largent Trio.
The rest of his quartet last night was Stephen Anderson on piano, John Simonetti on bass, & Tyler Leak on drums. Stephen was particularly good, as he usually is, & also worth hearing. He's at the Koka Booth Amphitheater Wednesday 5:30p.
I'll post more recommendations as soon as venues & musicians cooperate...
