Verve Mondays closes April with the first-ever mono vinyl pressing of John Coltrane's A Love Supreme -- mastered from the original analog tapes for the Coltrane 100 centennial. Tonight at Kissa Kissa.
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.
