Angela Hagenbach, at the Broadway Jazz Club

For more than 20 years, Angela Hagenbach has filled Kansas City jazz clubs with a voice that controls the room. Her low contralto wraps a jazz standard in equal parts seduction and joy. Her masterful scatting sometimes hints at an interest in Brazilian jazz. Saturday night, Hagenbach is joined by veteran jazz guitarist Danny Embrey; bassist Zach Beeson; longtime Sons of Brasil drummer Doug Auwarter; and, on trumpet and flugelhorn, special guest Lawrence Jackson, who has returned to KC, his hometown, after 20 years of performing around the world. It’s a talented cast of musicians to hold up the considerable sway and attraction of Hagenbach, and an evening you should definitely make room for on your calendar.
