Eugene Uman's Convergence Project
Eugene Uman Convergence Project at the Vermont Jazz Center Saturday, June 10, 2017 8 pm "I always love listening to Eugene's compositions; they make so much musical sense and bring you on a journey with a very healing, uplifting feel." - Jerry Bergonzi After spending several years in Colombia, South America, Eugene Uman found a niche blending the rhythms of Colombia such as cumbia, bambuco and pasillo with jazz harmonies. Uman continued to investigate the rhythms and forms of the music of his newly adopted homeland, internalizing a small handful of the immense and richly varied catalog of Colombian rhythms. Each member of the Convergence Project brings their own highly developed personal approaches to Uman's music, uplifting it with original lines, hard driving grooves, attention to dynamics, acute listening skills and a group commitment to giving the music shape and substance. Eugene Uman, piano, composition, Wanda Houston, voice, Jeff Galindo, Trombone, Joshua Bruneau, trumpet, Michael Zsoldos, saxophones, David Picchi, bass, Jon Fisher, drums. Tickets $20-$40 Sliding Scale, $15 Students. Available online, at door, reserved by phone and In the Moment Records. Main St Brattleboro VT. Please call ahead for handicap access.
