Sip the sounds of jazz standards from a new and youthful
prospective while dining at one of the trendiest parts of Manhattan Beach. Kieran Moriah and Devin Norris of the Manhattan Beach Jazz Quartet have been in the forefront of a young jazz resurgence that has turned heads all over Southern California in the last three years. Kieran Moriah,
currently studying at Lachsa, has sung jazz professionally since the age of 15. Devin Norris, a UCI Jazz piano
honor’s major, is the protégé' of Professor Kei Akagi (Miles
Davis's keyboardist).
Other members of the quartet, Jay Johnson (bass) and Matt Gaffney (sax) round out the quartet from the UCLA music department.
Stop for a drink, or stay for dinner, and drift back into the jazz and swing eras.
