She will be performing “Songs From My Attic”, with her group, Ian Carey (trumpet), Beth Shenck (sax), Matt Wrobel (guitar), Lisa Mezzacappa (bass), and Jon Arkin (drums), presenting music reminiscent of her adolescence and which has been stored in her mind for a long time, waiting for this moment to be renewed. She will be performing original music, and nostalgic pop songs, from standards to Kenny Wheeler, Carla Bley, Tristano, and Bernstein, with a unique sonic palette and ethereal soundscapes.
