Gosh, Kevin sure was a nice guy.  He and his wife Allene, were two of the most down-to-earth people I knew back in Kansas City.  Longer story, but I got to hang out with them backstage at a number of concerts, and his wife was a really wonderful photographer too (iirc), and I happened to be around right after work at a club when they were hanging one of her shows there.

I didn't know either of them super well, but they always recognized me when they saw me in clubs or around town -- and I had a number of pleasant conversations with his wife at the bar, and we may have even shared a table now and then at a few gigs when Kevin was out of town. (Don't get any funny ideas.)

They were such a great couple, and such great people.  They've both passed on now -- both much too early.  I think she preceded him by less than two years.

Memories I'll always treasure from my 17 years in Kansas City (where Kevin and Allene were from).

Obit from the local KC NPR affiliate -- he was just 59.

I can't seem to get these images to show, but here are two pics with both Kevin and Allene...

I miss Kevin. I happened to witness his first and last gig here in town - his German promoter lives here, too. He remains one of my favourite male jazz singers. 

Does someone have a cover of that organ trio albums? It's cookin', and I have all the info, but no cover. It isn't shown on Mahogany's website.
