$10.76 – $20.76

Chis Coogan – Piano

Jazz Rabbi Greg Wall – Saxophones

John Mobilio – Bass

Jim Royle – Drums

Jazz Rabbi Greg Wall and Chris Coogan have been teaming up regularly after meeting back in 2015  and realizing they were cut from the same cloth. They share a deep spiritual attachment to African-American music that digs deep into its roots and extends out from there, as well as enjoying a love of community.  With Chris’s long time rhythm section of John Mobilio and Jim Royle rounding out the group, the swing is over the top.

Pianist Chris Coogan has been one of the most popular performers in our area for many years, and for good reason: He plays great! Chris grew up here, and has chosen to make Fairfield County his home, as well as his home base for his multifaceted music career. He is a world class jazz pianist, a sensitive and in demand accompanist for singers, a powerhouse Gospel pianist, choir director and bandleader, a highly effective and inspiring educator, and general all around amazing and good  guy.
