Off Beat Jazz with KATIE THIROUX TRIO
Featuring:
Katie Thiroux – Bass & Vocals, Justin Kauflin – Piano, Matt Witek – Drums
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9 at 7:30 pm, McCoy Studio Theater – Maui Arts & Cultural Center
Rising star jazz bassist and vocalist Katie Thiroux has garnered considerable attention for her bravura playing, assured singing and compelling compositions. Quincy Jones selected Katie to perform at his new club, Q’s Bar and Lounge, in Dubai for the 2017 summer program as artist in residence. Quincy said, “I couldn’t be happier to have such a talented young bassist and singer … this girl is IT!” This fall, Thiroux embarked on a U.S. tour to promote her new album, Off Beat, which received 4 stars from Downbeat and features pianist Justin Kauflin and drummer Matt Witek. In concert, the trio performs in-the-moment jazz that draws upon the rich history of the music, lending contemporary flair to mainstream stylings.
