Jazz organ giant KYLE KOEHLER headlines. His trio includes guest guitarist ED CHERRY & noted drummer JASON TIEMANN. \nFor three decades\, Kyle Koehler’s been one of jazz’s most important & consistent voices on organ. Influenced by organ legends Shirley Scott & Charles Earland growing up in Philly & armed with a college degree in music performance & composition\, his career path gained traction after college with a  move to NYC. There in the late ’90s\, he began leading trios & performing with top jazz artists\, with Lou Donaldon\, Jimmy Heath & David “Fathead” Newman included. Early accolades for his organ playing include “Rising Star”status from Downbeat magazine & being chosen to tour Africa as a “Jazz Ambassador” for the Kennedy Center & U.S. State Dep’t. Currently continuing to perform across the U.S.\, Europe & Japan\, he also records & does Hammond B3 educational workshops. Dedicated to keeping the organ tradition alive in jazz\, Koehler’s playing honors those great organists who preceded him. Many are no longer with us from its earlier jazz “Heyday.” Among them are Jimmy Smith\, Jimmy McGriff\, Jack McDuff\, Richard “Groove” Holmes\, Dr. Lonnie Smith & Joey DeFrancesco. \nSpecial guest guitarist ED CHERRY\, a Connecticut native\, is an expressive player with a hip\, melodic approach that’s similar to what vocalists offer in their songs. While he mentions Kenny Burrell\, Grant Green & Wes Montgomery as influences\, his style is clearly his own & unlike those who play with excessive finger notes. In his fifth decade of playing\, he’s best known for his work in Dizzy Gillespie’s quartet & big band from 1978 to ’92. Following Gillespie’s 1993 death\, Cherry began leading his own groups & recording. His resume  includes numerous leader & sideman CDs & important work with trumpeter John Faddis\, sax player Paquito D’Rivera & organists Jimmy Smith\, Dr. Lonnie Smith & John Patton.  URL:https://southjerseyjazz.org/event/jazz-blues-showcase-the-kyle-koehler-trio/ LOCATION:Cunningham Piano Store\, 1724 Marlton Pike\, East\, Cherry Hill\, NJ\, 08003\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://southjerseyjazz.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/kyle-koehler-tn.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250428T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250428T203000 DTSTAMP:20260521T010003 CREATED:20250307T152508Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250509T160841Z UID:10000386-1745866800-1745872200@southjerseyjazz.org SUMMARY:Tom Angello's All-Star Jazz Series w/ Bob Ferguson\, Michael Pedicin\, Doug Mapp & Jason Long DESCRIPTION:Tom Angello’s All-Star Jazz Series\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Tom Angello – DrumsBob Ferguson – TrumpetMichael Pedicin – Tenor SaxDoug Mapp – BassJason Long – Piano \n \n \n \n \n \n Non Members $20.00\nSJ Jazz Members $15.00\nSJ Jazz Patron Members $10.00 URL:https://southjerseyjazz.org/event/tom-angellos-all-star-jazz-series-21/ LOCATION:Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar\, 900 Shore Rd\, Somers Point\, NJ\, 08244\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://southjerseyjazz.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/bob-ferguson-tn.jpg GEO:39.3115265;-74.5967395 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gregory’s Restaurant & Bar 900 Shore Rd Somers Point NJ 08244 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=900 Shore Rd:geo:-74.5967395,39.3115265 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250419T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250419T190000 DTSTAMP:20260521T010003 CREATED:20250315T002322Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250429T143055Z UID:10000389-1745089200-1745089200@southjerseyjazz.org SUMMARY:Gateway Playhouse partners with South Jersey Jazz Society to Jazz Things Up with Emmy®-Nominated Trumpeter Benny Benack III and Broadway Sensation Khailah Johnson DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 19 @7PM\nGet your tickets today!\n– New partnership with South Jersey Jazz Society kicks off with Broadway-meets-Jazz in ’Some Enchanted Evening’ – \nMarch\, 2025 (Somers Point\, N.J.) – Gateway Playhouse in Somers Point is launching a new partnership with the South Jersey Jazz Society (SJJS).
