The Pace Report: “Seen and Always Heard” The Kevin Mahogany Interview with Dave Stryker

As you might have read or heard, jazz vocalist Kevin Mahogany made his transition yesterday in his hometown of Kansas City.

Over the last three decades, Mr. Mahogany graced the clubs and on record as one of jazz music beloved swinging and hippest brothers on the planet.

Here's my interview I shot with Kevin with the Dave Stryker Trio at Birdland for their official record release.

Rest in peace Kevin and thank you for the smooth grooves.

The Pace Report: "Organix" The Don Braden Interview

Bandleader, educator, and composer Don Braden recently performed music from his brand new CD "Luminosity" with this Organix Quartet featuring Paul Bollenback on guitar, Jared Gold on organ, and Cecil Brooks III on drums at Club Bonafide in NYC. Special guest Sherman Irby, who also appears on the new CD, stopped by to play with the band.

Braden has been on the frontlines for well over three decades backing the likes of legendary artists like Freddie Hubbard, Betty Carter, Wynton Marsalis, and The Harper Brothers. He came on the jazz scene in the early 1980's as part of "The Jazz Lions" movement and has been a successful leader in his own right.
