Listen to the fables, the enchanting LP from Kavyesh Kaviraj Quintet (Free Outdoor Show TONIGHT!)
Local piano player Kavyesh Kaviraj, with a crack group of local musicians, created one of the most joyous albums I’ve come across this year with the 8-song, nearly hourlong jazz opus Fables. The record came out in July, with a fancy release show at the Dakota, but I’m late to the party as I often am.
Luckily for us jazz-loving stragglers, there is a free show tonight (Wed, Aug 21st) at Silverwood Park in St. Anthony where you can catch them gems live and in the flesh. You can and should read this great profile of Kaviraj by the legendary Britt Robson at Minnpost to dig deeper on what brought us to this album, or just dive in below and enjoy the modern twist on a myriad of classic jazz takes brought through a modern prism by a collection of amazingly talented musicians.
Find more info about the free show happening from 6:30 – 8 tonight at the Silverwood Park HERE.
