Trombonist Dave Graf has made friends with almost everyone’s he’s ever played with and he has a frighteningly strong command of jazz trivia. As if that wasn’t enough, Graf has also been a fixture in the Twin Cities jazz scene for decades but he spends most of his time behind the scenes. That changes on Sunday when he steps out on the Crooners Main Stage leading a band that includes Jennifer Grimm (voice), Phil Hey (drums), Doug Haining (sax), Mary Louise Knutson (piano) and Matt Peterson (bass).
