Mar Vilaseca ft. The Alternate Takes

About This Event

BORN IN BARCELONA IN 1998, VOCALIST, PIANIST, AND COMPOSER MAR VILASECA IS QUICKLY MAKING HER MARK ON THE JAZZ WORLD. A JUILLIARD GRADUATE, SHE HAS PERFORMED INTERNATIONALLY AND COLLABORATED WITH RENOWNED ARTISTS LIKE EMMET COHEN AND JEREMY PELT.

IN THIS PERFORMANCE, MAR PRESENTS A VIBRANT REPERTOIRE OF HER LATEST COMPOSITIONS—SONGS INSPIRED BY HER JOURNEY MOVING TO A NEW PLACE AND THE EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCES IT BROUGHT. HER MUSIC BLENDS THE WARMTH OF LATE ’70S AND EARLY ’80S ROCK AND R&B WITH A TOUCH OF JAZZ AND IMPROVISATION.

THE ALTERNATE TAKES ARE A NEW ORGAN TRIO OUT OF MEMPHIS, TN FEATURING TONY THOMAS ON ORGAN, DANNY BANKS ON DRUMS AND LOGAN HANNA ON GUITAR.

THE DEEP SWING AND TOUGH GROOVES PLAYED BY THIS BAND OF PROFESSIONALS ARE HONED THROUGH YEARS OF LOGGING LATE NIGHTS IN CLUBS AND ON TOURS AROUND THE GLOBE. SO MUCH ATTENTION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE STUDY OF THE MUSIC RECORDED IN THE 1960’S (SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS “SOUL JAZZ”) THAT LISTENERS WILL WONDER IF THEY HAVE BEEN TRANSPORTED BACK IN TIME
