Band Bios

10 of Soul has been performing high-energy shows in the Quad Cities area for many years, and we’ve recently been able to entice them to the Corridor for shows at Jazz Under the Stars and Taste of Jazz. Several members of the band also participate in KCCK’s jazz education programs as band members and guest artists.

THE KIRKWOOD JAZZ COMBO

The Kirkwood jazz program has a long and distinguished history, led throughout the years by gifted teachers like Tim Feldkamp, Ray Salucka, Al Naylor, Joe Perea, and Fred Kiser. But this is the first time the program has been directed by a Kirkwood Alum! Blake Shaw began his music education at Kirkwood before moving on to the University of Iowa for his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. He is in the final semester of a temporary appointment as director of the jazz bands. The Kirkwood Jazz Combo is comprised of students from Kirkwood’s Jazz Improvisation II class.
