Jazz Beat: Jaleel Shaw, at Take Five Coffee + Bar
“Energetic” and “turbulent” have been used to describe Jaleel Shaw on alto sax. He’ll power through a solo with a cascade of post-bop originality and a warm tone, driven with mature intelligence and power. In New York, he performs with the Mingus Big Band and legendary drummer Roy Haynes’ quartet, in addition to his own ensembles. Thursday, he returns to KC as a very special guest, heading up a trio comprising bassist Jeff Harshbarger, keyboardist Roger Wilder and drummer Mike Warren at Take Five.
