Kevin Mahogany’s warm and velvety baritone voice brought him to the heights of jazz prominence in the 1990s.
His performance in Kyiv will consist of his own best-loved ballads, as well as classics of Nat King Cole, Jonny Hartman and Jo Williams.
When Mahogany was a child, music in his family was as important as English and math. Mastering piano, clarinet and baritone saxophone, he started playing in jazz bands and teaching music while still in high school.
Throughout his career Mahogany has reached numerous milestones, including the soundtrack for the movie “Kansas City” and performing on stage at Carnegie Hall with legendary Kenny Barron and Jimmy Scott Jazz.
He also taught at the Berklee College of Music in Boston and the University of Miami.
