Blue Knights

Discogs

Sunday Night Jazz Showcase

Program #192 (July 26 at 8:00 p.m.)

The music of Blue Knights is jazz-influenced fusion and contemporary jazz highlighted by piano and guitar.

The debut album “Blue Nights" was an instant hit when released in 1992.

Their music thrives on rhythms and a very jazz-influenced groove piano. Arrangements, programming and keyboards are the work of the composers Jay Heye and Curtis McLaw.
