About The Event
“Off the Charts” is a Portland area jazz quartet comprised of Kenny Gaspar, piano and trumpet; Rick Bernard, bass; Rusty Quinn, drums; and Mike Banas, guitar. While their influences include everything from Bebop to Blues to Chet Baker, their primary repertoire is drawn from that genre of music known as the “Great American Songbook” – the canon of significant early 20th-century jazz standards and pop tunes (Ellington, Porter, Kern, Mercer, Arlen, et al.)
The band, which entertains widely, has also featured singers including Paul Andriulli, star of Freeport’s “Radio 2022”. Band members have worked with a variety of area groups, such as
Don Doane, Bill Street, Don Campbell, Bellamy Jazz, and the MaineStream JazzMasters. The swinging never stops with “Off the Charts.”
