The Cottontails Trio featuring Karina Denike

THE COTTONTAILS are one of San Francisco’s most exciting musical groups, playing a wide range of styles ranging from 20’/30s Gatsby-era jazz, classic 40’s swing, and vintage 50’s/60’s R&B. 

With Michael MacIntosh on piano, Joe Kyle Jr on bass and Karina Denike on vocals.

“ Karina Denike Possesses a voice so rich and luxuriant she sounds like she was born to sing any song that comes her way “ – KQED California Report

“Michael McIntosh’s solos can evoke everyone from Jelly Roll Morton to Herbie Hancock, and he is known to pound out liturgical music on the pump organ in his spare time. He epitomizes the pluck and spirit of The Cottontails – dogged, versatile, virtuosic; a light-fingered role player where called for, but a spine tingling soloist when he chooses.” – The Bay Bridged

“…Special shout out to Karina Denike whose vocal prowess recalls traditional jazz chops with modern style, relevance, and soul.” – Owl Mag
