Chicago-based jazz pianist Jeremy Kahn returns to the Baker Community Center and “Saturday Night Lights” with a quartet featuring vocalist Petra Van Nuis in her St. Charles debut, along with Eric Schneider, sax and clarinet; Clark Sommers, bass; and Bob Rummage, drums.
Born near Chicago and classically trained at Boston’s New England Conservatory, Jeremy Kahn is one of the most in-demand jazz pianists on the Chicago jazz scene. He lived and performed in New York City for twelve action-packed years, before moving back to his hometown. Although Kahn is mainly a jazz pianist, having played in jazz-type venues around the world, he also plays in pit orchestras for musical theater productions.
Kahn has played with Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Joni Mitchell, Phil Woods, Teramasu Hino, Charlie Haden, Aretha Franklin, Barbara Cook, Alvin and the Chipmunks, and everyone in between.
A Chicagoan since 2003, Petra Van Nuis sings at all the finest jazz venues in town including the Green Mill, Andy’s Jazz Club, Winter’s Jazz Club, SPACE, Fitzgerald’s Nightclub and the Jazz Showcase. Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs has presented Petra at the Chicago Cultural Center and Chicago Summer Dance. The Jazz Institute of Chicago has featured Petra’s Recession Seven band at the Chicago Jazz Festival and Jazz City.
Your paid ticket includes three complimentary beverages (wine, beer, soft drinks).
