Now's the Time: Ryan Keberle & Catharsis

The increasingly adventurous bookings at Black Dolphin are a welcome addition to Kansas City’s live music scene.  The New York based ensemble Ryan Keberle & Catharsis perform at the gold-curtained venue on Wednesday, January 31.  Jazz fans will attend to hear the trombonist who’s worked with Maria Schneider and Miguel Zenón.  Curious pop aficionados will be on hand to see why Keberle is a hired gun for the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Justin Timberlake.  The Kansas City Jazz Calendar lists dozens of additional choices next week.
