Thank you to those who supported KUVO JAZZ on Colorado Gives Day!
Due to high winds and fire danger, transmitters are operating at reduced power and reception may be affected through the weekend. Thank you for your understanding and support! You can listen online and on the KUVO app.
For our Summit County Listeners: The KVJZ 91.7FM transmitter site on Bald Mountain experienced a catastrophic power line failure. Because of the high elevation and winter conditions, repairs won’t be possible until next summer. Stream KUVO JAZZ on our website, the app, or your smart speaker.
Join us for an evening of California cool as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Michael Franks' seminal album, The Art of Tea. We’ll take you on a journey through the velvety landscapes of Franks' music, exploring his unique blend of jazz and pop; tasty melodies; quirky, poetic, and profound lyrics; and themes of the subtleties of love as only Franks could tell them.
In this intimate setting, we'll share our own interpretation of Franks' beloved 1975 album The Art of Tea in its entirety, along with other cherished favorites from Franks’ illustrious career.
Amy Biondo is a Lafayette-based vocalist, songwriter, and vocal coach whose rich, emotional, and playful vocals are a perfect match for the effortless elegance of Michael Franks’ work. Featuring special guest Charles Blenzig, who has been Franks’ musical director for the past 35 years! Rounding out the quintet will be Colorado all-stars Bill Kopper (guitar), Gonzalo Teppa (bass), and Raoul Rossiter (drums).
