Event Description
Women jazz trumpeters are few and far between but jazz siren, Bria Skonberg, makes up for the shortage. The brassy and velvet sounds of this young jazz star, who is well on the rise of the jazz ladder, has garnered acclaim as an “outstanding jazz artist.” Hailing from Chilliwack, British Columbia, and now living in New York City, the award winning trumpeter is also a vocalist and composer. In 2013 she earned a Jazz Journalists’ Association nomination for “Up and Coming Jazz Artist of The Year” and has been included in the Downbeat Magazine “Rising Star” Critics’ Poll the last two years. She swept the 2014 Hot House Jazz Magazine Awards in all categories and has recently been honored with a New York Bistro Award for “Outstanding Jazz Artist.” The young songbird’s concert will blend New Orleans brass with her cool voice and warm trumpet tones.
