Acclaimed jazz vocalist Kelly MacKenzie-Thurley is joined by pianist Chris Caporale, Aaron Jacobs on bass, and drummer Phil Tipton for an incredible night of music at Caffè Vivace. This dynamic performance combines the fiery percussion of Brazilian Samba, the smooth sophistication of American Soul, and the timeless charm of classic Jazz Swing in a show that is not to be missed!
