duende libre is an inspired new power trio featuring longtime collaborators Alex Chadsey (piano/keyboards/compositions), Farko Dosumov (electric bass) and Jeff Bongo Busch (drums & percussion). duende libre utilizes the American jazz tradition as a point of departure for daring explorations of traditional and classical music from the Americas, Europe and Africa, yielding catchy melodies, lush harmonies, and wholehearted groove.

Bursting onto the Seattle scene in February 2016, duende libre has quickly earned a reputation for being innovative, uplifting and accessible to a wide-range of listeners. Their self-titled debut album was released May 5, 2017.

Composer/trumpeter Samantha Boshnack's primary small ensemble as a leader, the Sam Boshnack Quintet, thrashes and bounds through tightly-woven twists, tunnels, and cliffs with the deftness and precision of a chamber ensemble and the weight of a rock band. Boshnack synthesizes a dazzling array of musical influences in her sophisticated yet fun, highly original compositionsfrom intricate chamber writing to lush jazz panoramas and funky brass band-inspired grooves. They recently released their second album - Nellie Bly Project on Artists Recording Collective to critical acclaim. Written about the 19th-century daredevil feminist and journalist, the music moves between the narrative and abstract, creating an imaginative world that channels Blys groundbreaking spirit.

The band (formed in 2011) features some of Seattles most accomplished improvisers and has been hailed as "delightful, surprising....explorative and intriguing phenomenally innovative musicians with a unique signature sound that owes as much to their, on the spot, ingenuity as to Boshnacks original writing (All About Jazz). The Sam Boshnack Quintet is: Samantha Boshnack (trumpets, voice & compositions), Beth Fleenor (clarinets & voice), Alex Chadsey (piano, keyboards & voice), Isaac Castillo (bass) and Max Wood (drums).
