Jazz Appreciation Month on Rocky Mountain PBS
| Rocky Mountain PBS
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 lovingly share our own interpretations of timeless treasures from The Art of Tea, alongside 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! This all-star band also includes Bill Kopper (guitar), Gonzalo Teppa (bass), and Raoul Rossiter (drums).
