SUMMARY:David Bixler Auction Project featuring Arturo O'Farrill
DESCRIPTION:David Bixler – Woodwinds \nHeather Martin Bixler – Violin \nArturo O’Farrill – Piano \nRaul Reyes – Bass \nVince Cherico – Percussion \n  \nFusing Celtic\, jazz and Afro-Latin influences\, super group The Auction Project—led by saxophonist\, flutist\, and composer David Bixler\, and featuring Grammy Award-winning pianist and composer Arturo O’Farrill—create a surprising\, richly textured and thoroughly enjoyable sound.

Down Beat magazine writes “The winning grace of Auction Project’s jazz-meets-Celtic (and sometimes Afro-Cuban) sound is its naturalness and intimacy.” After putting the band on pause for several years\, Bixler has reinvented the band\, inspired after spending the fall of 2023 in County Clare\, Ireland studying the flute. In addition to O’Farrill and Bixler\, The Auction Project features All-Ireland medalist violinist/fiddler Heather Bixler\, Grammy Award-winning percussionist Vince Cherico\, and bassist Raul Reyes. \n

SUMMARY:Buffi Jacobs Live Cello Looping Immersive
DESCRIPTION:Buffi Jacobs – Cello \nJoel Olivas – Visuals \n  \nBuffi Jacobs\, a distinguished modernistic cellist and composer\, currently resides in the vibrant New York City. Celebrated for her role in The Polyphonic Spree\, Jacobs is renowned for her enthralling performances\, innovative compositions\, and complex arrangements. Her career\, spanning over three decades\, is marked by a continuous exploration of new artistic dimensions\, pushing the limits of musical expression and captivating audiences with her distinctive performances. \nHer most recent project\, “Solitary Contemplations\,” is a poignant collection of compositions born out of the isolation experienced during the pandemic\, and is visually enhanced by Joel Olivas. This artistic venture began as Jacobs was transitioning from the national tour of “Hamilton” to a new chapter in New York City. However\, her move was soon eclipsed by the city’s lockdown\, which forced her into solitude in an environment that was still new and unfamiliar. The compositions in this collection deeply reflect her experiences during this challenging time\, capturing a wide range of emotions and thoughts she faced while isolated in a city that was yet to feel like home. Including both original works and reimagined pieces\, “Solitary Contemplations” provides a deep and introspective look into Jacobs’ experiences of solitude during the pandemic.
