Added to this is the melodic sophistication of a Jimmy Webb or a Paul Simon, as well as a spare but telling lyric approach. “I admire songwriters like Woody Guthrie and poets like Robert...

Jazz in Media: Karen Rodriguez and her Latin Jazz Ensemble
Presented by Jazz Bridge at Unitarian Universalist Church - Delaware County February 15, 2012 Singer Karen Rodriguez and her Latin Jazz Ensemble will be appearing at Jazz in Media! Ms. Rodriguez is the real deal. Others may attempt to convey a Latin sound by singing a bossa nova or a samba once in awhile, but Latin music is in Rodriguez's DNA. Seeing and hearing Karen perform live is like walking into a Cuban nightclub circa 1950, but her Latin sound would not be complete without her marvelous band: percussionist Mariano Medina, pianist Suzzette Ortiz, and bassist Juan Medina. Don't...

Rebekah Jean with Guest Casey Cattie
Presented by Kennett Flash at Kennett Flash February 17, 2012 Rebekah Jean grew up with a handful of conflicting influences. Her roots were planted deep in the hills of West Virginia coal country, but she was raised close enough to her father's Cleveland to hear the screams of rock and roll. Rebekah's original music effortlessly reveals this juxtaposition, with songwriting that carries on the tradition of honest clarity and heartfelt sincerity both rock and roll and early country first presented.
