Helios Jazz Orchestra with Kevin Mahogany
Sunday, November 7 at 4 PM
A vocal tour de force, Midwestern born singer Kevin
Mahogany burst onto the scene in the ‘90s and
sparked resurgence in male jazz vocals not seen
since Joe Williams, Mel Tormé, and Billy Eckstine.
With his big sound and swinging style he has
proven to be the quintessential jazz vocalist. As a
youngster he studied piano and reeds, which no
doubt later contributed to his unique phrasing, but
subsequently decided to focus on his voice
becoming a leader in the genre.
A highly demanded draw for jazz audiences
worldwide he’s toured as a headliner and notably
with the “Four Brothers,” a vocal super group made
up of Jon Hendricks, Mark Murphy, Kurt Elling and
himself. During his extensive career Kevin has
recorded for the Enja, Warner Brothers and Telarc
labels and his latest release, on his own Mahogany
Jazz label, features Kevin in a modern big band
setting. For this special big band performance he’ll
be backed by the Helios Jazz Orchestra, ensemble-in-residence
at St. Petersburg College directed by David Manson.
