Jazz in the Basement is a monthly concert series featuring local jazz artists, organized by the DC Public Library and curated by Bertrand Uberall and John Cook. The concerts are intended to highlight young artists, new composers, or unique jazz sounds to broaden the listening landscape of our Washington, DC audiences. DC Public Library is a proud supporter of our local music community and looks forward to expanding valuable resources to assist musicians in their creative and professional endeavors.
At the end of March, join us in celebrating women in jazz music with
The Harold Trio as they release a new album.
After meeting as part of the Washington Women in Jazz and Women in Jazz Sweden exchange,
Amy K Bormet (piano/wurlitzer/voice),
Biggi Vinkeloe (alto saxophone/flute), and
Tina Raymond (drumset) came together in Los Angeles in May 2016 to record their first album of both live and studio performances. All three women are international performers, working in places as diverse as India, Brazil, Uganda, and Sweden. Their music, which is truly spontaneous, defies categorization and draws from the trio’s knowledge of western art music, avant-garde jazz, and Indian classical music. What makes the Harold Trio compelling is the ease with which Amy, Biggi, and Tina merge their deep individual experiences, exhilarating musical personas, and sensitive improvised ensemble work.
The Harold Trio’s second album,
Open Secrets, is a deeper dive into fluid spontaneous composition. The album will be released April 1, 2019.
