Every so often, we encounter an act who has a solid reputation among musicians and has played high profile gigs in the past, yet does not receive deserved recognition at present. Karen Briggs is such an artist. Her violin playing is immaculate, she is a talented composer/arranger and her featured playing on New Age artist Yanni‘s multi-platinum Live at the Acropolis exposed her abilities to millions. While Briggs led her skilled band through sets at the Kennedy Center‘s KC Jazz Club this past Friday, we can only hope that the next time around, she will be featured in the Concert Hall.
