I can tell you that Anat Cohen is a brilliant player in any style she 
chooses: modern, Brazilian choro, or swing / mainstream.  She has a unique 
style that swings like crazy and makes musical sense, too.  She'll be 
playing in Denver for Summit Jazz at the end of the month, March 31 and 
April 1.

This is a "pretty good" band:

JON-ERIK KELLSO, trumpet
ANAT COHEN, reeds

PETE SIERS, drums

Donald R. Seawell Grand Ballroom

Three 45-50 minute sets will begin at 7:00 p.m. and end about 10:00 p.m.
