May's Verve Mondays selections at Kissa Kissa span Brazilian bossa nova, Ella Fitzgerald's definitive Cole Porter Songbook, Art Farmer's orchestral jazz, and Stan Getz's genre-defining samba collaborations -- all on vinyl, every Monday night in Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
On Monday, April 13, Kissa Kissa hosts a pre-release early listening session for Verve's newly-unearthed 3LP set of the Oscar Peterson Trio live at Baker's Keyboard Lounge in Detroit, 1960 -- five complete sets with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen, unreleased for 65 years, played in full on vinyl.
Beginning April 6th, Kissa Kissa partners with Verve Records for a 39-week vinyl listening event series celebrating the label's 70th anniversary. Every Monday night -- a new reissue, an exclusive cocktail, and a full evening of curated jazz on vinyl at Brooklyn's only traditional jazz kissa.
