Cool jazz
Library offers free concert by renown vocal artist on Saturday
This year, the Plymouth District
Library will be an active member of
the line up of attractions at the
Plymouth IceFestival.
Library Director Carol Souchock
said she is looking forward to the
event and the participation the library
has planned as an event partner this
year.
She said a host of library activities
will take place during the Ice Festival
weekend, Jan. 9-11 that will appeal to
all ages.
“Many of us who grew up in south-
east Michigan, have fond memories of
the ice festival in Plymouth, she said.
“We look forward to having the library
be a part of thosememories.”
The library will warm up crowds
with a free concert by jazz vocalist
Cynthia Kaay Bennett at 3 p.m. on
Saturday. Kaay will be accompanied
by Kevin Korecki on piano and Will
Kinsey onDrums.
Souchock said that Kaay Bennett is
a native of Ohio who performs jazz
standards, country and blues regularly
throughout southeast Michigan and
northwest Ohio. Her first two jazz CDs,
Wish I Knew and That's the Sprit have
been played onmore than 50 radio sta-
tions in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Her third release Dreams of You high-
lights what Richard Bourcier, Jazz
Critic of JazzReview.com terms as
“…warmand classy. Bennett is able to
scat in fine fashion and she swings out
in style”.
She has been named as one of the
top 500 jazz singers of all times by
noted jazz critic Scott Yanow of The
Jazz Singers: The Ultimate Guide and
praised by numerous other jazz peri-
odicals.
The Saturday afternoon concert is
free, but Souchock has requested pre-
registration at plymouthlibrary.or or

dren of all ages and a Disney sing-a-
