The Jazz Posse

David Kreimer and Marc Puricelli.

A jazz duo out of Durham, North Carolina.

Marc Puricelli plays piano. David Kreimer sings and plays saxophone. Between them: Chet Baker, B. B. King, George Benson, Etta James, a Berklee degree in jazz composition, and four albums of original music on MusicMasters/BMG.

These days they play standards, bossa novas, blues, and some of their own tunes, around the Triangle. Add a bass player and it's a trio. Add a drummer and it's a quartet.
