Excellence In Jazz Playlist, October 2, 2024
Bria Skonberg is interviewed tonight at 9 p.m.
Since moving to the jazz mecca of New York City in 2010, Bria Skonberg has been busy. She’s recorded several albums, appeared at jazz festivals worldwide, and developed quite a following in the Big Apple. Bria’s inventive arrangements of traditional jazz and her reworkings of popular songs in jazz settings give her performances a spirited feeling. She combines trumpet stylings that reflect a strong influence of Louis Armstrong with beautiful, highly original vocals.
Bria’s’ latest album was recorded in New Orleans and she brought legendary drummer Herlin Riley from the Big Easy to NYC for her recent sold-out appearances at Dizzy’s Club in Lincoln Center.
