Making use of traditional Christmas carols in jazz arrangements as well as original jazz music, the Three Wise Men in this spicy take on the familiar Christmas story include a Tap Dancing King (Lane Alexander), a Latin Percussion King (Geraldo DeOliviera) and a Trumpet King (Bobby Lewis), all joyously improvising their way to Bethlehem in this fully staged production that features some of the city’s hottest jazzers, including vocalists Dave Rudy, David Molnar, Dawn Lauber and Gayle Bisesi, saxophonists Andy Tecson, Ken Jandes and Tim Coffman, pianist Bobby Schiff and drummer Jerry Coleman.
