This Thursday, February 8, The Jazz Gallery is proud to welcome vibraphonist Sasha Berliner to our stage for her Gallery debut as a bandleader. A student at the New School, Berliner has received positive notice from the likes of Ambrose Akinmusire, Vijay Iyer, and Andrew Cyrille, and is an in-demand collaborator, working with peers like Morgan Guerin and Maria Grand, as well as established leaders like Miles Okazaki. Berliner released her debut EP in 2015, and is working on a followup to be released later this year.Berliner's working quintet has developed a strong rapport and musical identity, and turned a lot of heads at this year's Winter Jazz Festival. Before checking out the group at the Gallery this week, take a listen to their performance at the festival, below.https://youtu.be/a1zPHTEN3b4 The Sasha Berliner Quintet plays The Jazz Gallery on Thursday, February 8, 2018.
