Otis Brown III is simply one of the world’s most in demand drummer. If you need to come and find out why it means you may have been sleeping! This man is a top call for jazz greats like Joe Lovano, Gerald Clayton, Oliver Lake, and Terence Blanchard…As we always say; need we go on? Come and support the local Brooklyn scene and KEYED UP! by showing up to this free event and leave a donation.
Legendary guitarist Peter Bernstein appears at the cozy nook known as Bar Bayeux for a donation-based show…Could it be true?! Thanks to KEYED UP! and our community of amazing donors it is indeed true. You’ve heard him with the likes of Dr. Lonnie Smith, Brad Mehldau, (need we go on?) and we are cordially inviting you to catch up with him in this intimate setting as he joins up with 6 string cohort Steve Cardenas.
Sarah Vaughn International Jazz Vocalist Competition WINNER Tyreek McDole hosts a premier jam session in Penny Jo’s! Don’t miss the hang with Tyreek and his handpicked enclave of top tier musicians in an informal setting.
