The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music presents MusicNOW! This series, which will run through our exciting 2008-09 concert series, will present the edgy, diverse, unique and raw talent that makes up the musical voice of the Brooklyn Conservatory’s immensely talented faculty. For this concert two of the Brooklyn Conservatory’s Jazz faculty will be presenting their own groups in two separate sets. The 1st set will be saxophonist Jenny Hill and Broken Reed Ensemble. The 2nd set will be Vibraphone player Stefan Bauer with his ensemble Voyage featuring Judi Silvano, Chris Bacas, and bassist Ugonna Okegwo.

Jenny Hill & Broken Reed Ensemble
The Broken Reed Ensemble is the work of a group of saxophonists who link together disparate styles and present the results with artistry and joy. Broken Reed Ensemble has been likened to the Kronos String Quartet because of their eclectic repertoire and accessibility.

Stefan Bauer & Voyage
Stefan Bauer is one of his generation's preeminent vibraphone players. For this particular concert Bauer brings together some of NY’s most interesting musicians: The immensely musical jazz vocalist-composer and improviser extraordinaire Judi Silvano, the powerful saxophonist Chris Bacas, and bassist Ugonna Okegwo as part of his ensemble “Voyage”.

“Bauer prevails while displaying his total command of the Vibes as the lead instrument. Again, Bauer shows off his enormous technique yet excels at delighting the listener with his keen penchant for nuance and subtly.”
