KAVE is a jazz duo comprised of two top tier Twin Cities jazz players who happen to have deep
connections to Northfield. Bassist Kevin Clements taught jazz bass at Carleton College for years
when he wasn’t flying as a commercial pilot or gigging with any number of Twin Cities jazz
greats. Dave Hagedorn is among the most in-demand vibes (the vibraphone is that things looks
like a xylophone) players on the country. He performs regularly with many Twin Cities jazz
groups as well as the Minnesota Orchestra and the St Paul Chamber Orchestra. Dave also is in
charge of anything “jazz” at St Olaf College and directs the multi-award winning jazz bands at
the college.
Kevin and Dave both live in Northfield and have been making music together since 1997. They
have been a mainstay at Imminent Brewing since the opening in 2017. KAVE Jazz will be welcoming a variety of guest artists to join them on stage on their regular 4th Sunday of the month (with occasional alterations). This month, we're excited to have drummer Jay Epstein return to Imminent to share the stage with KAVE!
