Esthesis Quartet
November 11, 2023 @ 7:30 pm
Elsa Nillson-flute, Dawn Clement-piano, Emma Dayhuff-bass, Tina Raymond-drums
ESTHESIS QUARTET is made up of four accomplished musicians and educators who met at various festivals, conventions, and sessions around the country. From their first shared note, it was clear that they were a band. The use of the word esthesis in their name is poignant, as it means the elementary sensation of touch, which was something sorely lacking during the Covid lockdown.

Claudia Bloom - Duos & Quartets
April 19, 2024 @ 7:30 pm
Claudia Bloom will be joined by Natalie Gallatin playing an “evening of duets and quartets”. We will feature the music of contemporary composers such as Joshua Redman, Helen Sung, Tigran Hamasyan, Christine Jensen , Joni Mitchell and others with creative arrangements by Claudia Bloom.
Claudia strives to create and perform music, mostly composed by women, that hasn’t been “ heard” before by arranging standards and finding music that is not typically played in traditional Phoenix jazz settings.
