Keyboardist Connie Grauer discusses the new album TRUTH, by avant-garde jazz duo MRS. FUN. Complex, sophisticated and adventurous, their music is a unique blend of off-center jazz, ultra-funk, spoken word rap, and their own brand of neo-cabaret. Intelligent lyrics, stellar musicianship, and a dynamic stage presence are hallmarks of their music. The MRS. FUN sound is derived from Connie Grauer's funky bass-driven keyboard playing, combined with Kim Zick's skillful in-the-pocket drumming. http://mrsfun.com/Show is sponsored by the National Parks Arts Foundation - https://www.nationalparksartsfoundation.org/ Hosted on Acast.
