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 jazzgreats. Dave Hagedorn is among the most in-demand vibes (the vibraphone is that things lookslike a xylophone) players on the country. He performs regularly with many Twin Cities jazzgroups as well as the Minnesota Orchestra and the St Paul Chamber Orchestra. Dave also is incharge of anything “jazz” at St Olaf College and directs the multi-award winning jazz bands atthe college.
Kevin and Dave both live in Northfield and have been making music together since 1997. Theyhave 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 Greg Shutte return to Imminent to share the stage with KAVE!
