All Things Jazz |
Dear , Hello to all of our new subscribers! This is our monthly newsletter that takes a deep dive into all things jazz! March’s newsletter focuses on Women’s History Month through jazz. Jazz is a uniquely American music style, with its roots in the Black community. Women have always been a part of the jazz tradition, but historically female instrumentalists haven’t had equal visibility. It excites us to see more representation, especially knowing that these women are creating their own history. |

Featured Musician: Dawn Clement |
|
Arturo Gómez, KUVO’s Music Director, interviews keys and vocalist Dawn Clement violinist about her upcoming show 'Esthesis Quartet' at Dazzle at Baur’s on March 24 at 6:00pm. Tickets at https://dazzledenver.com/fbevent/esthesis-quartet/ Esthesis means the sensation of touch and this quartet started over Zoom during the quarentine, when there was a great lack of touch. Dazzle loves to celebrate the creativity that was cultivated during this time and 'Esthesis Quartet' plays original jazz with a reckless abandon that shakes the preconceptions of traditional instrumentation roles. They treat each other’s compositions with understanding, respect and a treacherous amount of freedom, leading to musical explorations that resolve in unexpected directions. These four women help us celebrate Women's History Month. Elsa Nilsson – Flutes and Pedals
Dawn Clement – Keys and Voice
Emma Dayhuff – Bass
Tina Raymond – Drums |
