JazzPOP: Lisa Mezzacappa Trio featuring Fay Victor

  • to This is a past program

Bay Area bassist Lisa Mezzacappa collaborates with Brooklyn vocalist Fay Victor in this East-meets-West-Coast trio. The trio’s repertoire explores a wide-open concept of jazz language and feeling, with inspiration drawn from the earthiness of the blues, the sonic explorations of the avant-garde, the lean architecture of pop music, and a keen sensitivity to sound and groove. The two are joined by guitarist John Finkbeiner.
