Sessions from the Martin Hanson

Yazmin has lived a life of music from day one, having grown up with musician parents. Her latest album The Nautilus was recorded in Havana, Cuba with producers she met while living and studying music there. Over the years, Cuban music has played a big roll in her life. She spent over a decade studying Latin piano with master in the field Rebeca Mauleón-Santana, among others, and while in Havana studied at the highly esteemed Instituto Superior de Arte. Her newest album highlights her very unique Folk-Rock sound with a mix of Latin influences. It tells a love story from beginning to end and takes the listener on a journey through every phase of one woman's experience: Before, Falling, Distance, Broken, Healing, and After. The raw, human emotion of her songs is transmitted through her powerful stage presence and stellar band, Beat Zero.

T Bruce Bowers (electric violin/mandolin) has been playing professionally since 1968. He has written over 20 film and television scores. Five of his scores have won awards, including Beneath the North Atlantic, which was nominated for an Emmy. Bruce has performed with well-known musicians of many different styles, including the main stage at the Winnipeg Folk Festival with Queen Ida. He has also performed with Taj Mahal, the Dixie Dregs, Ed Bruce, Prudence Johnson, and Pat Donahue. Bruce is a founding member of the Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua Blue Canvas Orchestra. He was bandleader from 1988 to 1994, and has been active in the creation of the style and quality of the Blue Canvas Orchestra since the beginning. He appears on The Nautilus as violinist, mandolinist and co-producer.

Cuban drummer Rayhner Lasserie, has toured the world with groups such as Yuri Buenaventura, Omara Portuondo, and Rakatan Show, and currently works with Ballet Revolución. He was the drummer on The Nautilus and is visiting the US for a short time. We are excited to have him with us as a guest for this show.
