Acclaimed singer Jonathan Karrant and renowned pianist Joshua White perform at The Jazz Lounge on June 28th at 2pm. Song selections for the afternoon will include classic standards and feature more contemporary songs not typically heard in the jazz genre. Song after song the two artists continue to complement each other through creative expression and unique phrasing. Jonathan’s warm, rich voice soulfully wraps around and pulls the listener into the lyric. Joshua is a virtuoso at the piano. His brilliant playing creates mood, and as he solos, you can hear the very intent of the song. Jonathan and Joshua have worked together often on stage, and their musical connection reflects as they create excellent art.

Jonathan Karrant's album, “On and On” hit #4 on the Billboard Jazz charts and his album Live hit #2 on the iTunes Jazz Charts. He has received honors throughout the states including; the New York City Jazz Honors, “Best Singer” for the Bravo California Awards and was named one of the top 12 rising jazz vocalists by Downbeat. A voice, romantic without being cloying, warm but not forced, Jonathan carries songs with an emotional weight that reaches your very soul. At the same time he can swing with the kind of jazz suave that was patented by Mel Torme`.” Jazz Corner
