BISTRO CONCERT: Caleb’s Gentle Jazz

The Bistro Concert, on Friday, November 17, will feature the Caleb Nei Quartet. They will play well-loved tunes as gentle jazz. These are tunes from the Great American Songbook with a few added originals.

Having played here five times before, many know Caleb’s soft, thoughtful jazz piano playing style. He is a church musician and has taught at Shenandoah Conservatory. He delighted patrons at the V2 Lounge of Village Square on the Loudoun Mall before the pandemic.

Caleb is joined by John Kocur on saxophone, Daniel Kelly II on drums, and Kevin Johnson on double bass. Each has impressive musical credentials. Kocur, a composer and creative educator, teaches at George Mason University’s music conservatory and directs a military band. Kelly has played internationally, won drumming competitions, and performed with the Shenandoah University Summer Music Theater. Johnson has played in Bistro Concerts with Caleb and with Donovan Stokes. He is active in community education and edits a specialized publication for bass players.

The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Admission is $10 cash at the door. Part of the proceeds benefit the Fellowship Fund. The Bistro Concerts are sponsored by Atlantic Union Bank.
