The Jazz Voyager
Iowa is one of the few states where the mainstream population may not think it to be a destination that hosts jazz. Contrary to that belief, there is jazz and this week The Jazz Voyager is off to 1326 Walnut Street in Des Moines, 50309 to investigate a jazz club called Noce. It has been said that nothing beats a live show and Wednesday through Saturday, this venue only serves up mixed nuts and cheese so that one can concentrate on the jazz experience with minimal noise from a kitchen or dishes.
Five-time Grammy nominated vocalist Karrin Allyson is taking to the stage for two shows Friday night for a two-hour show from 7:00 to 9:00pm. Hailing out of Great Bend, Kansas this vocalist/pianist has been performing around the world, drawing from a variety of genres and incorporating them into her jazz vocals. Having her part of any playlist I’ve created, do not be surprised when you hear her, just kick back and enjoy.
Joining composer and drummer Kendrick Scott are Deborah D.E.E.P. Mouton, poet, Poet Laureate Emeritus of Houston, visual artist Robert Hodge, the Harlem String Quartet featuring violinists Ilmar Gavilán, Melissa White, violaist Jaime Amador, and cellist Felix Umansky, pianist Gerald Clayton, saxophonist Walter Smith III, and bassist Joe Sanders.
Tickets range from $25.00 – $65.00 plus fees. You can reach the venue by phone at 515-244-5399 and can always get ticket information at https://www.nocedsm.com/.
