Guitarist Kelvin Kaspar.

One of the most influential guitarists of the 1960s, Wes Mongomery created a playing style of his own by using his thumb instead of a pick. Working with producer Creed Taylor, Montgomery used that sound to take jazz music in unexpected (and to some, lamentable) commercial directions in the latter half of the decade before his too-young death of a heart attack in 1968. Boss City features guitarist Kelvin Kaspar (of The Pocket Kings), bassist Nick Moran and drummer Matthew Endres. They will explore the trio format most often used by Montgomery for club dates as a bandleader, and will also delve into his work with the Montgomery Brothers as well as material from the Taylor sessions; find tickets for early and late shows here, or watch the livestream.
