My Name is Steve Kenny, and I have been an active member of the Twin Cities Jazz Community for decades. In 2019, I was named a "Minnesota Jazz Hero" by the Jazz Journalists Association. Here's a nice article about that honor. http://jazzpolice.com/archives/8713
This fundraising is for the sole purposes of supporting the Curating and Presenting and for ensuring the best possible compensation for performing jazz artists and ensembles while limiting the risk and financial exposure experienced by the cooperating venues, so they will continue to host our weekly presentations.
I've been curating and presenting Jazz concerts for 10 years, starting first with a MRAC Grant funded Jazz series at Studio Z (The "All Originals" Jazz Series) and continuing with weekly jazz series presentations at The Black Dog Cafe in Lowertown Saint Paul and at the Nicollet/Reverie in Minneapolis and for a few years, at Jazz Central Studios. The recent closing of the Black Dog concluded a run of 328 weeks of jazz performances. Currently, we are presenting our weekly series at kj's hideaway (www.kjshideaway.com) as a series known as Saturday Night Jazz at kj's hideaway.
