About the event
Join us at Meyhouse Jazz for Modern Songbook, featuring bassist, vocalist, and composer Jeff Denson with Frank Martin on piano and Malachi Whitson on drums.
This genre-blurring program features Denson’s original arrangements of music by Bonnie Raitt, Bill Withers, Peter Gabriel, Joni Mitchell, and Jeff Buckley, alongside jazz standards and original compositions. With his distinctive voice as both a bassist and vocalist, Denson brings a deeply personal sound to songs that move across jazz, folk, soul, and popular music traditions.
