The jazz world got a refreshing blast of life when newcomer Bria Skonberg stepped onto the scene. At 32 years old, Skonberg has accomplished a lifetime’s worth of accolades and honors that had the Wall Street Journal dubbing her “one of the most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation.” With over 50 jazz festivals throughout North America, Europe, and Asia under her belt, as well as garnering award recognition by the Jazz Journalists’ Association and DownBeat magazine, Skonberg has shocked the jazz world with her classic understanding and adventurous style. Her debut U.S. release shot into the Top Ten for jazz records when it was released in 2014, and her inventive mix of trumpet, vocals, and composition, as well as her influence of the “hot jazz” New York scene, makes for an exciting performance that is uniquely her own. Take part in this new age of jazz and performance, and witness Skonberg as she rises to the level of jazz star.
