Kunkel & Kopchak Jazz

About Kunkel & Kopchak

Guitarist/composer Jim Kunkel and bassist/composer Mickey Kopchak present lyrically and harmonically adventurous music crafted as vehicles for improvisation which spring to life in performance. The depth of their musical partnership (since 2015) is palpable in their live performance. Kunkel switches between classical and electric guitars, enhancing the timbral soundscape, while Kopchak expands the sonic possibilities using various electronic effects, giving his bass a vocal and emotional quality that is always tasty and never “too much.”

Both are seasoned composers in jazz and other genres, affording them an extensive book of original material as well as the occasional interesting interpretation of others’ works. 

Rounding out the duo will be Mike LaRocco on Drums and Percussion
