Brooklyn-based Timo Vollbrecht is a shapeshifting saxophonist-composer and Brown University jazz professor. The NYC Jazz Record attests he is “blessed with fluidity and intricate twists.” Together with multi-Grammy-nominated vocalist Theo Bleckmann, sound-magician Luke Marantz, and drummer extraordinaire Jason Burger, this new band meets at the intersection of avant-jazz, indie, post-rock, and song. Their music weaves together delicate textures and creates a pastoral quartet sound that merges “acoustic resonance with otherworldy electronic sonorities of orchestral width” (Occhi Magazine). Get ready for an evening of all new music.
With Theo Bleckmann – vocals • Luke Marantz – keys • Jason Burger – drumsAstghik Martirosyan, an Armenian-born, New York City-based vocalist, composer, and pianist, stands at the intersection of diverse musical realms, drawing inspiration from classical, traditional Armenian folk music, jazz and contemporary improvisation. From her early beginnings performing with the Armenian State Jazz Orchestra at just 15 years old to her recent collaborations with Dave Holland and Ari Hoenig, Astghik’s musical journey has been one of continual exploration. Exposing different chambers of her artistry Astghik collaborated with Ted Reichman infusing infusing electronic textures into classic Mingus works and served as a composer, performer and a musical director for “We Wait for Your Return” – a two-part live performance commissioned by Northeastern University in Boston which combined photography, storytelling, and live music.
