This is the fourth season of 2 Stones Events’ monthly concerts with a speakeasy vibe in the lower level of Ciao Amici’s restaurant in downtown Brighton (217 W. Main). Previously named Kittens & Crooners, the series has expanded its focus on The Great American Songbook to now also include other styles of the jazz genre: Ciao!Jazz. Special thanks to our media sponsor — The Marketeer.
The Funkalleros: Organ trios were a popular (and still are!) type of jazz ensemble for club and bar settings in the 1950s and 1960s, performing a blues-based style of jazz that incorporated elements of R&B, blues, and gospel — “soul jazz”. The format, characterized by improvised solos and an exploration of different musical moods, traditionally features organ (also handling the bass chores), drums, and guitar or sax. This quartet includes all four — and they are Detroit’s first-call musicians: Dale Grisa, organ; Jesse Kramer, drums; Brett Lucas, guitar; and Bobby Streng, saxophone. All four of these musicians have played our Kittens & Crooners serious with various headliners, and this ‘all-star’ quartet will be a rare treat for live music fans
