I remember meeting and being in the midst of a Jazz concert held in Manhattan, Kansas City Park in summer of 2005. Kevin was one of the guest artists having been invited to by Greg Carroll.
Later researching on Kevin, I discovered that he was a native of Kansas City, Missouri. His earlier training in elementary and high school was on the saxophone; later he graduated from Baker University with BFA. It was following his university graduation that he turned to the vocal side. He was swayed much by the vocal style of Al Jarreau.
Kevin began with a road group of vocal, bass viol and piano. From these road concerts Kevin developed his own recording label and produced a number of recordings. When not in Europe, he travels with road concerts still to this day. He gave a wonderful performance in Manhattan, Kansas that is a little slow on receiving the jazz world. Kevin is in concert many times presently at the Kansas City, Missouri Art Museum, located at 18th & Vine Streets.
