Grover Kemble & Jerry Vezza Quartet

  • Shanghai Jazz 24 Main Street Madison, NJ, 07940 United States (map)

Legendary jazz duo Jerry Vezza (piano) and Grover Kemble (guitar & vocals), along with bassist Hal Slapin and drummer John Vourtsis are back together to enthrall our dinner guests with masterful renditions of jazz standards, the American Songbook and original tunes. Jerry and Grover have been playing together for over 25 years and the fun they have on a bandstand is definitely infectious. As a leader, Grover draws the audience into every lyric, engaging everyone in the crowd. On piano, Jerry is a musician who embodies the classic jazz values of melodic warmth, rhythmic subtlety and true elegance. Jazz critic Zan Stewart of the Star Ledger wrote that "Vezza sings with his hands" and "plays resplendent jazz piano."
