Jazz at the Vail Farmers’ Market featuring Kathy Morrow Trio, Solaris/Vail Village
Noon to 3 p.m.; Free
Jazz at the Farmers’ Market continues its tradition of cool jazz on Sunday afternoons in Vail Village – performing from a new tented venue at Vail’s newest neighborhood, Solaris at Vail. Kathy Morrow has been singing and playing the piano in the Vail Valley for the last 18 years, after traveling and performing in Europe, Asia and parts of the Middle East. Her unique energy, vocal range and musical sense are appreciated by all those who experience her performances. Cam Miller, of the American Rag, said, “she’s a splendid vocalist, who can get up close to a ballad and then sprint through a scat chorus with amazing spirit and enthusiasm.” With Morrow on piano and vocals, the trio is completed by Tom Paxton on bass and Allan Finney on drums. Morrow also performs as part of the vocal trio The Fabulous Femmes. www.vailjazz.org.
