Percussionist, drummer and composer Carlo Costa was born and grew up in Rome, Italy. Since 2005 he has been based in New York City. In the past several years he has been making music which is largely improvised and experimental in nature. Through the use of a variety of unusual techniques and added objects Carlo has meticulously developed a distinctive and wide-ranging sonic palette.

Zosha Warpeha is a composer-performer working in a meditative space at the intersection of contemporary improvisation and folk traditions. She performs primarily on Hardanger d’amore, a sympathetic-stringed instrument closely related to the Norwegian Hardanger fiddle, as well as five-string violin.

NOAH ROTT’S ELECTRIC QUARTET

Noah Rott is a Brooklyn-based pianist and electronic artist who fuses modern jazz with electronic soundscapes. Originally hailing from Germany, Noah Rott migrated to New York City in 2017, where he swiftly carved out a niche for himself as a dynamic force within the city’s jazz scene. As part of a new generation of jazz innovators, Noah’s virtuosic and versatile use of analog synthesizers and sound effects paired with his picturesque approach to the acoustic piano have garnered attention and acclaim. He is currently leading a new quartet with the vision of creating an innovative sonic blend of acoustic elements and electronic sounds. His band features some of New York’s most unique musical minds, such as Alfredo Colon on saxophone, electric wind instrument, and effects; Mathias Jensen on upright bass; and Kobi Abcede on drums. After releasing his debut album Rewind in 2021, he is projected to release his second album as a bandleader in early 2025.

MINNIE JORDAN QUARTET

Minnie Jordan is a violinist hailing from Texas and living in Brooklyn. Her compositions draw inspiration from jazz tradition, but are also informed by the distinctive flavor of Texan roots music, as well as diverse non-musical sources such as bird songs and the occasional printer or leaking faucet. Her sound has been described as “elegant & cinematic,” “not undramatic,” and “lowkey prog rock vibes but jazz fiddle.”

Evan Main – keyboard

+ special guest LILY TALMERS

“Lily’s sound is rooted in the 60’s folk revival, but includes broader fascinations, like the influence of Greece, Portugal and the European classical music canon all subtly swirl around in her melodies.
