Event Details

More concerned with the essence of a song than idiomatic limitations, Palmetto Records’ vocalist Kate McGarry and guitarist Keith Ganz have managed to attract the attention of tomorrow’s jazz fans. Beyond their obvious affinity for swing, their eclectic repertoire ranging from Irving Berlin to Ric Ocasek, and her signature contralto convey a message with a crystal clarity that precludes the need for gimmick or effect. All that’s left is undeniably honest music that transcends the boundaries of age or genre. With five records including the Grammy nominated, If Less Is More...Nothing Is Everything, she's established herself as one of contemporary jazz's most moving and enigmatic voices. Ganz brings the same authority with his guitar. A North Carolina boy, Ganz has rigorously pursued his craft since moving to New York in 1998, playing around the world with the likes of Harry Connick Jr, Kurt Elling, Luciana Souza and many more. 


Join this dynamic duo for their debut performance at LA's newest hotspot, Royal T in Los Angeles. Hailed as, "Absolutely heartrending", and "Astute and sensitive" by the New York Times, and "An exceptionally appealing blend of folk and jazz" by The Wall St. Journal. Not to be missed!


"This duo has figured out how to create jazz arrangements of songs by Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Stephen Stills and Ric Ocasek without compromising either the jazz or the rock'n'roll. The substitute chords, elasticized rhythms and deconstructionist solos make this satisfying jazz, while the lyrics are delivered with such forceful urgency that it's still satisfying rock'n'roll. The songs are transformed but never obscured." ~ Geoffrey Himes, Best CDs of 2008
