New York City-based Latvian singer, composer, and arranger Arta Jēkabsone engages listeners with an emotional and honest, adventurous, and joyful expression of music. Her performance at The Jazz Gallery will feature her NYC family, Arta Jēkabsone Quintet, celebrating their friendship and stories and sharing them through music.
"Every now and again something truly new comes around. It’s rare, so when that happens, the experience is truly special. Such an experience is awaiting one’s ears when they experience the artistry which is Arta Jekabsone. Her compositions are rooted in her life’s journey, infused with the deep roots of her native country, and most importantly, her performances are filled with the genuine, real, authentic expressions which are at the heart of her improvisations. Her voice communicates powerfully and her compositions and arrangements are equally moving." -Thomas J. Manuel, D.M.A.President & Founder, The Jazz Loft, Inc.
