Jazz Beat: The Jazz Disciples, with Book of Gaia
The hard-driving, in-your-face, contemporary jazz of the Jazz Disciples (Gerald Dunn on sax, Everett Freeman on piano, Bill McKemy on bass and Michael Warren on drums) anchors a couple of the Blue Room’s most popular monthly shows. This Saturday night, the Jazz Disciples are joined by Book of Gaia, a sharp ensemble featuring three of Kansas City’s finest jazz singers: Angela Hagenbach, Pamela Baskin-Watson and Nedra Dixon. The trio practices classic and pop tunes with wickedly intricate vocal harmonizing, layered with an attitude of let’s have some fun. The pairing should make for a rather intriguing evening at 18th and Vine.
