Jazz this week: Anita Rosamond with the Tom Kennedy Trio, Creative Forces Ensemble and more

With no major touring jazz musicians in St. Louis this week, it's an opportune time to get out and hear some of our city's homegrown talent.

Among the notable gigs this weekend is singer Anita Rosamond's debut at Jazz at the Bistro. She'll team with the Tom Kennedy Trio, featuring Kennedy on bass, Miles Vandiver on drums and Nathan Jatcko on piano, for two performances per night on Friday and Saturday.

Elsewhere in town, singer Jeanne Trevor (pictured) will be at Brandt's on Thursday, and smooth jazz saxophonist Tim Cunningham returns to Finale Music and Dining on Friday. On Saturday, Black Arts Group presents the Creative Forces Ensemble in a free concert at the Scott Joplin House State Historic Site, and the Carolbeth True Trio performs at Crossings Taverne and Grille.
