It’s the fourth Saturday of the month at Rapunzel’s and that means it’s time for Jazz!!
On Saturday, October 26th we welcome back a jaw-dropping trio - Stephanie Nakasian (keys, vocals), Jeff Massanari (guitar), and Karl Kimmel (bass). Our very own Quintessential Quartet will warm up the room with a few classic swing era tunes.
The Quintessential Quartet - our house jazz band - features Anne Krieger, Harry Powell, and Rapunzel’s very own Bob Taylor and Carolyn Stone - sharing the old standards and making you smile.
Stephanie Nakasian
Exciting! Innovative! Vibrant Virtuoso! Fun!
Stephanie Nakasian is an exciting, well-seasoned vocalist and master of innovative jazz improvisation, completely authentic with a fresh and vibrant sound all her own.
A prolific recording artist with 15 celebrated albums, including her acclaimed "Show me the Way" and special tribute to Billie Holiday “Billie Remembered” which was featured on NPR’s “Fresh Air” with Terry Gross, Stephanie continues to perform live and is dedicated to inspiring "next generation" artists through her writings, guest speaker appearances and participatory vocal training courses and improv workshops.
Known as one of the world’s leading jazz vocalists, Stephanie will take you on a fantasy musical voyage that transcends the Great Ladies of Song in genre, tribute and originality. Capturing the heart of audiences with her extensive repertoire, reaching from Jazz to Classic Rock, Pop and Cabaret, Stephanie creates an atmosphere of romance and excitement that will transport you to another place and time.
The Quintessential Quartet
