JAS Cafe Summer Series – Bria Skonberg Quartet w special guest Benny Benback III

“Bria Skonberg looks like a Scandinavian angel, plays trumpet like a red hot devil and sings like a dream … Poised to be one of the most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation”
– Wall Street Journal

“It’s such a groove watching my skol sister follow in the path of Pops, Louis Armstrong, the one who start it all… She even follows his motto, play it, don’t say it!!” – Quincy Jones

New York-based trumpeter/vocalist Bria Skonberg has been described as one of the “most versatile and imposing musicians of her generation” (Wall Street Journal). She links the present with the past by playing inventive arrangements of traditional jazz repertoire, clever reinterpretations of contemporary classics, and original compositions with genuine heart and dynamic flair. Ms. Skonberg’s forthcoming album solidifies her as a truly unique voice in the jazz-blues-crossover realm.
