On Saturday, December 8, Westchester Collaborative Theater (WCT) will continue its Jazz Masters series with a special holiday concert showcasing the sounds of the KJ Denhert Trio. Urban folk jazz great Denhert, named one of Jazz.com’s top female vocalists and four time Independent Music Award nominee, will be accompanied by Mamadou Ba on bass, Etienne Stadwijk on keyboard and Ray Levier on drums.
This return engagement for Denhert follows sold-out appearances at WCT earlier this year and in spring 2017 at the grand opening of the WCT black box performance space.
Reviewers have said that Denhert’s performance “will move you to laugh, to dance and even to cry.” They have praised her pathos, originality and impeccable musicianship, calling her “one-of-a-kind and not to be missed.”
Denhert has appeared at scores of festivals, has had residencies at the ’55 Bar’ in NYC, the ‘Baz Bar’ in St. Barts, and recently completed seven consecutive residencies at the prestigious Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy. She performs solo, duo and with her full band.
