Red Alert
by livemusicsolutions on Mar.20, 2009, under Jazz, Swing
Led by superb pianist Mike Kemp and featuring the wonderful Chez Chesterman on trumpet, this quartet really swings. Mike and Ches share an enthusiasm for the Jonah Jones Quartet and were inspired to form Red Alert with the same trumpet, piano, bass and drums line up. The repertoire is drawn from Jonah Jones, Chet Baker and Louis Armstrong featuring such memorable tunes as:
On The Sunny Side Of The Street
A Kiss To Build A Dream On
Let’s Get Lost
