The Friday night Jazz
Series curated by G & J Productions continues this month, with a CD release
party for the Bria Skonberg Quartet
on Friday, June 6th. This award-winning trumpeter/vocalist
was voted the Jazz Journalist’s Association’s “Up and Coming Artist of the
Year” in 2013 and is a founder of the New York Hot Jazz Festival. The New York Times reports that Skonberg
is part of the new retro jazz scene, where she "has earned accolades
not only for her trumpet playing, in the lineage of Louis Armstrong, but also
for her singing, in a softer, slinkier mode. Her new album, “Into Your Own”
(Random Act), released last week, nudges her into crossover pop territory.
