RIP Kevin Mahoganey.

Kevin Mahogany, the versatile and velvet-voiced vocalist who became one of the Kansas City jazz scene's more well-known exports, died Sunday. He was 59.

Mahogany had been living in Miami, but moved back to Kansas City in August after the sudden death of his wife, Allene Matthews Mahogany, over the summer, says Mahogany's sister, Carmen Julious.

The two had been married for 25 years, and Julious says Mahogany's grief had aggravated longer-term health issues.

This is very sad. He was almost always around even when he lived elsewhere. What a giving musician he was. This is so very sad. I did not know him personally but close friends of mine did and both of my sons had played with him over the years.
