About the artists-
Brazilian bassist Marcelo Maccagnan has established himself as an exciting bandleader and in-demand sideman on the New York scene.
Growing up playing a whole range of styles - rock, electronic music, Brazilian, pop - he took the opportunity of studying at Berklee in Boston to immerse himself fully in the jazz genre.
The result is a truly authentic fusion of sounds which, whilst modern and electric, never loses sight of the improvisation and communication central to jazz.
His 2nd album “Boundless” features Andrew Cheng on Guitar and Kelvin
Andreas on Drums, exploring a mix of styles from Pat Metheny and Donny
McCaslin to Radiohead and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

About the artists-
Three Hunters Trio is a NYC-based jazz ensemble specializing in both original repertoire and music from the American songbook, classic films, and J-pop/video games. Since the trios' origin in 2017, they performed regularly at various restaurants and small jazz clubs until the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Despite a complete halt in performance opportunities, the trio trudged on and began playing weekly livestream concerts from their home studio/living space in Harlem which allowed them to raise the necessary funds to record and release their first, self-titled album "Three Hunters Trio." The band has since returned to performing live in NYC and has resumed work on tour planning and future music releases.

Mobile since her birth in Singapore, composer, and saxophonist Caroline Davis lives in Brooklyn, New York. Her debut album, Live Work & Play, was featured on All About Jazz’s best releases, and she was named one of JazzTimes’ Best New Artists in 2012. Her second album, Doors: Chicago Storylines, is an audio documentary that uniquely sets stories from Chicago's jazz scene from the 80s and 90s alongside her original music. In 2018, she won the Downbeat Critic’s Poll “rising star” in the alto saxophone category. Caroline’s third album, Heart Tonic, was released on Sunnyside Records to much acclaim in NPR, the New York Times, and DownBeat. Davis’ self-titled Alula, featuring Matt Mitchell and Greg Saunier, was released on New Amsterdam Records in 2019, and Persona's Anthems, a collaboration with pianist Rob Clearfield, was released later that year.

Since living in New York, Davis has become active as both a side-person and a leader in a diverse set of music communities (jazz, improvised music, modern classical, R&B, folk). She has shared musical moments, most recently, with Lee Konitz, Angelica Sanchez, The Femme Jam, Matt Mitchell, J. Hoard, Terry Riley (alongside Travis Laplante, Scott Robinson, + Dan Blake), Miles Okazaki, Nicole Zuraitus, Matt Wilson, Rachel Therrien, Thana Alexa, and Billy Kaye. Her collaborations include Maitri (with Ben Hoffmann) and Persona (with Rob Clearfield).

In March of 2019, Davis was a composer-in-residence at the esteemed MacDowell Colony and in the same year, was awarded the Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship for her work between 2019-21. Her compositional practice integrates music with the cognitive sciences, anatomical structures, trauma, and the brain, influenced by her Ph.D work in Music Cognition. Recently, Davis has been using her platform for social justice, particularly devoted to prison reform and the release of political prisoners.

As an educator, Caroline brings her unique knowledge of music and psychology to her teaching. She has been on the faculty at Litchfield Jazz Camp for 15 years, Stanford Jazz Institute for 5 years, and an educator at The New School, Northwestern University, Harvard University, DePaul University, Columbia College, University of Texas at Arlington, and Jazz at Lincoln Center, to name a few. She has also participated in the following jazz mentorship programs: IAJE’s Sisters in Jazz, the Kennedy Center’s Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Program, and Jen Shyu/Sara Serpa’s Mutual Mentorship Program.

About the artists-
Originally from Albany, NY, Joe Giordano is a trombonist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader based in New York City. He currently studies at the Manhattan School of Music under the tutelage of Marshall Gilkes and Marc Cary. Giordano was inspired by his father, Mark, a trombonist and educator in his own right who introduced Giordano to jazz as he first picked up the trombone. As he continued to grow, Giordano became enamored with the sounds of JJ Johnson and Curtis Fuller. His list of heroes and influences has expanded to include literary geniuses such as William Blake, Carl Jung, and Ta-Nehisi Coates.

Since moving to New York City, Giordano has performed with many key voices on the scene, including Frank Lacy, Bobby Sanabria, Stacy Dillard, and Davis Whitfield Jr. He has performed at venues such as Smalls, Dizzy’s, Clement’s Place, Newport Jazz Festival, and with the Jazz Exchange. In addition to being a Vail Jazz Alumnus, Giordano was named a YoungArts Finalist in Jazz in 2018.

Giordano is fortunate to be in collaboration with exciting up-and-coming musicians. He intends to further establish the trombone as an integral part of the scene and deliver a healing message through the lens of creative music.

"Kabocha"- Excerpt from Adi Meyerson's Suite, "I Want to Sing My Heart Out in Praise of Life". This Suite was inspired by the story and artwork of Yayoi KusamaI.

Link to full concert- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBTDY7KGKz0&t=182s

The Band-
Adi Meyerson - Bass, composition, Lyrics
Sabeth Perez - Vocals
Anne Drummond - Flute
Jonathan Finlayson - Trumpet
Lucas Pino - Bass Clarinet & Tenor Sax
Sam Towse - Piano & Keyboards
Kush Abadey - Drums

About the project:

"After reading Kusama's artist statement in 2017, I was deeply moved by the message even before entering the gallery - all this art was created to provide an alternate universe for people (and the artist herself) to mentally and spiritually exist in, with nothing but love and compassion for each other and for nature.

I have synesthesia, a neurologic condition in which two senses overlap and trigger one another. In my case it relates to colors, and Kusama's color palette used on her paintings were almost identical to some of the colors I see when I hear pitches.

Inspired by Kusama's story and my own personal experience with depression and anxiety, I wanted to create a work that lets the listener fall into that utopian world for its entire duration, and take them on their own journey.

I know that as an artist, if I wanted to create that for my listeners, I would have to take a deep and honest look inside myself to understand what that means to me - what are some things that need to change in order to actually create that kind of world?"

"Antes Que Se Vaya" In Juan's words, an "Emulation of the Venezuelan groove called Chimbangle"

This is a high-energy, intricate piece of music performed by some of NYC's finest. This band is top-quality in terms of the compositions and players' chemistry.

The Band-
Juan Diego Villalobos- Vibraphone
Nicola Caminiti- Alto Saxophone
Lex Korten- Piano
Ben Tiberio- Bass
Savannah Harris- Drums
