Alex Ketchum plays an exciting mix of timeless jazz standards and original compositions that will take you on a journey through moody ballads, uptempo swing, and everything in between. Favouring the trio format, Alex believes that the simple instrumentation of guitar, bass, and drums allows for lively musical interaction which results in unique and dynamic performances.
