Ethan Iverson Trio & Melissa Aldana

Melissa Aldana
Monday, October 23, 2017
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Monk@100

Though she's not yet reached her thirtieth birthday, Melissa Aldana has already broken several jazz boundaries. In 2013, Aldana became the first female instrumentalist and first South American to win the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Competition. Born in Chile but based in New York after a stint at the Berklee College of Music, Aldana has become one of the most promising new voices in jazz, with her deliberate tone and laid-back approach earning her acclaim as the leader of Crash Trio. Praised by The New York Times for her "limpid sound, expressive command, and persuasive self-possession" and by Lucid Culture for her "fearsome chops," Aldana is jazz's most intriguing rising star.

TWO SETS: 7 PM & 9 PM
