Father John D'Amico Trio - A Jazzy Afternoon at Overbrook Park Library

(LtoR) Bruce Klauber(drums), Kenny Davis (Bass), Marvin DeBose & John D'Amico(Piano)

On Saturday, April 27, 2013, in celebration of April’s Jazz Appreciation Month, I had the pleasure of hosting the Father John D'Amico Trio at our very own Overbrook Park Library. The trio featured Father John D'Amico on piano, Kenny Davis on bass, and Bruce Klauber on drums. Nothing compares to experiencing live jazz as it's being created right before your eyes—and these guys were absolutely phenomenal! The mixed-age audience was fully engaged and truly enjoyed their captivating performance.

To further honor Philadelphia’s rich jazz history, we also showcased a display of vintage black-and-white photographs featuring jazz artists who were either born in or had once called our great city home.

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Bruce Klauber, a longtime Overbrook Park resident. Without you, this incredible program would not have been possible. Thank you!
