Pianist Robin Connell plays with many jazz groups in many venues in West Michigan, but she is particularly looking forward to playing with a quartet at The Block in Muskegon Saturday, April 14.

 

“This is a wonderful, intimate (150 seat) venue in downtown Muskegon,” Connell said in supplied material. “I’m looking forward to playing a real piano, (it is) so much more expressive than a keyboard.”

 

Connell will be playing, and singing, with Paul Brewer on trombone and vocals, Tim Froncek on drums and Chris Kjorness on bass, with the music starting at 7:30 p.m. Doors and the bar open at 7 p.m., with tickets at $25 and up, student tickets at $10.

 

While the set list is, in jazz, always fluid, it is expected to include Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Rodgers & Hart, The Beatles, and Joni Mitchell. For a short video with some of the music likely to be performed, visit here.
