Description

Kevin's style is easy, effortless and swinging. His style developed through years of early musicial training as one of the original members of the Boy's Choir of Harlem in New York City. His early years saw him perform in an R&B trio that covered the hits.

Since coming to Philadelphia Kevin became free to let his jazz roots take hold. He has appeared with his trio at corporate events, Zanzibar Blue, the Pyramid Club, Rembrandts, Illluminarie, Ortlieb's Jazzhaus and most recently at Leow's Hotel. He occasionally appears as a guest vocalist at L2's Jazz Singer series on Thursday evenings. His treatment of standards conveys an understanding of the culmination of melody, rhythm and lyric. Do yourself a favor and catch this guy soon because he wont be a secret for too long.
