Thank you to those who supported KUVO JAZZ on Colorado Gives Day!
For our Summit County Listeners: The KVJZ 91.7FM transmitter site on Bald Mountain experienced a catastrophic power line failure. Because of the high elevation and winter conditions, repairs won’t be possible until next summer. Stream KUVO JAZZ on our website, the app, or your smart speaker.
We are delighted to present trumpet phenom Gabriel Mervine and his Quintet for this series every Friday in February. A longtime Denver favorite, Gabe will be joined by an all-star lineup of local artists for a dynamic set of improvisatory music. A pillar of the Colorado jazz community, Mervine has a long history of collaboration with a wide range of exceptional local artists; for this residency, he will be joined by a star vocalist and a swinging band. This show will feature Marion Powers, as well as Eric Gunnison (piano), Patrick McDevitt (bass), and Braxton Kahn (drums).
Bandleader Gabriel Mervine is deeply rooted in the traditions of Jazz and Classical and is an active contributor to the modern music scene both in Colorado and nationally. Born in Bridgewater, New Jersey, Gabriel began his professional playing career at the age of thirteen. By the time he graduated high school, he was already considering making a career out of playing the trumpet. He has studied with Bobby Shew, Roger Ingram, and Greg Gisbert and quickly gained recognition as a unique and capable player in any environment. Gabriel has performed with Natalie Cole, Christian McBride, Chie Imaizumi, Terence Blanchard, Russell Malone, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, John McNeil, Convergence, Roberta Gambarini, the Motet, and Houston Person.
