Karly Epp and Karl Kohut have been frequent collaborators, having spent several years living in New York City performing at top venues including Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola, the Blue Note and the 55 Bar. Their music combines a love for straight-ahead swing with contemporary influences from today’s leading jazz artists. In 2018, Karly and Karl returned to Winnipeg as full-time faculty members at the Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba.
