Come to City Books to enjoy a night of jazz with the Kyle Simpson Jazz Collective. Hear Kyle on trumpet, along with Paul Thompson on bass and Alex Ayers on keyboard. Kyle calls these guys his “dream team,” so you can be sure it is going to be a terrific night of jazz music.
Kyle Simpson, composer, trumpet player, and bandleader, has written many works for large jazz groups, chamber jazz groups, solo trumpet, synthesized electronic music, orchestra, and wind ensemble. Simpson’s music has been described as, “lively with rhythmic vitality” and also, “lyrical with a brooding elegance.” A former Northside resident, Simpson is currently an Assistant Professor teaching instrumental music at Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, PA.
The Kyle Simpson Jazz Collective will perform at City Books on Saturday, January 14, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. City Books is located at 908 Galveston Avenue in Allegheny West. For more information, visit City Books’ Kyle Simpson Jazz Collective event page.
