Kyle Gemberling

Jazz vocals shaped by Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole meet hard-bop-influenced trumpet playing in a free outdoor concert by Kyle Gemberling. He performs Sunday, November 15 in Lummus Park as part of the Ocean Drive Promenade Music Series, presented by the Ocean Drive Association.

Gemberling began his professional career in Shanghai, spending four years performing as a singer, trumpet soloist and horn section leader alongside musicians from around the world. His work spans jazz, R&B and reggae, with collaborators including Kelis, French musician -M- and Mauritian reggae group Noukilla. In 2015, he founded the Copacetic Quintet, bringing together his jazz vocal and trumpet styles.

The family-friendly concert begins at 5 p.m. on the lawn between 14th Street and 14th Place. Admission is free and open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to bring picnic blankets or lawn chairs. In case of rain, the performance moves indoors to The Betsy Hotel.
