Tampa Bay’s resident Grammy nominee Chuck Owen is living up to his word that once he retired from his position as USF’s director of jazz studies, he would continue being creative.
On Sunday, Jan. 8, Owen brings together ReSurgence—a scaled down version of his 19-piece Jazz Surge ensemble—to St. Pete's Palladium Theater as part of a brief tour of Florida. He won’t only be holding the baton, but also take on keyboards, and maybe even accordion segments.
Joining in the fun is special guest jazz vocalist Kate McGarry, whose resume includes providing vocals on a Kenny Loggins children’s album, and once recording a stirring version of Paul Simon’s “American Tune” with Grammy-nominated guitarist Keith Ganz.
