In 2009, The House Jazz Concert Series was co-created by Dave Powers and Annette Franks to bring people together for good jazz music and good times in the style of the old-time 'rent parties' of the 1920's through the 1950's. There are somewhere between 40 to 85 people who come to Dave's house in Columbus, OH to listen, participate, network and fellowship.
The once-a month series centers around the Dave Powers Trio plus a special guest from time to time. These energetic performances are all recorded live in front of enthusiastic audiences.
Along with piano and vocals by Powers, Volume One features Dave Dewitt (bass), Derek DiCenzo (guitar), Andy Smith (drums) and Louis Tsamous (drums.

Highly Entertaining Jazz Piano Music
author: Sean B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team
The enchanting album, "The House Jazz Concert Series, Vol. 1" by Dave Powers is a collection of Jazz songs played live - in Dave's house no less - by piano, guitar, and drums that have a vibrant, yet genially relaxed energy. "The 'In' Crowd" is a toe-tapping, foot-shuffling song with a soulful energy. "Jitterbug Waltz" is a mellow Jazz waltz with almost mysterious-sounding piano playing along with soft drum brushes and subtle guitar hits. For "Joy Spring" we have a softly spirited Jazz song in which the electric guitar delightfully takes the lead as the piano and drums create a sweet and colorful sound-scape. This album is filled with highly entertaining Jazz songs that definitely have the familiar feel of an impromptu performance while still being overtly professional. If you are a fan of Jazz piano in any form, then "The House Jazz Concert Series, Vol. 1." by Dave Powers is an album you would definitely enjoy.
