DR. PROF. LEONARD KING & GERARD GIBBS ‘Groovin’ In From Detroit’

About

Tickets Get Tickets Get Tickets Drummer/vocalist Dr. Prof. Leonard King and organist Gerard Gibbs both met during June 2001 as participants in saxophonist James Carter’s ‘Live at Baker’s Keyboard Lounge’ sessions. In January 2002 both King and Gibbs were picked for the formation of Carter’s organ trio, of which King was a member through 2014. Leonard King Jr. began his professional life at age 12 in his hometown of Detroit MI, and became a bandleader at age 15 which is still his primary role today. Another important association in his life was with organist Lyman Woodard as a member intermittently for 35 years. Gerard Gibbs has worked with a variety of artists such as Ronnie Laws, Pieces of a Dream, Marion Meadows, and more. He still tours with James Carter, and is in demand throughout the metro Detroit area performing with a variety of artists in different genres. As a duo, performing their respective instruments, King and Gibbs are able to cultivate an audio expansion which sounds as though it’s more than two people. Both Leonard and Gerard are very pleased that Bay area saxophonist, Howard Wiley, will be their special guest. Tickets: $40 per show
