JazzPOP: Sam Boshnack Quintet

  • to This is a past program

Seattle trumpeter and bandleader Samantha Boshnack synthesizes a dazzling array of musical influences in her sophisticated yet fun, highly original compositions—from intricate chamber writing to lush jazz panoramas and funky brass band-inspired grooves. Her quintet features some of Seattle’s most accomplished improvisers, and makes its L.A. debut at the Hammer hot on the heels of an acclaimed new CD.
