The United "Jasons" - Jazz Virtuosos Jason Anick, Jason Yeager, and Jason Palmer Team up for this special concert!
Rejecting the confining roles of strict categorization, The Jason Anick/Jason Yeager Quartet eagerly embrace what Anick and Yeager have defined as jazz without borders. Their debut album, United, was selected as one of the top jazz albums in 2017 by Downbeat Magazine.
For Anick and Yeagerfriends since their teenage years, frequent collaborators, and now fellow Berklee instructors The Anick/Yeager Quartet is both an artistic culmination of a long personal association and a statement of a shared musical aesthetic. Rounding out the quartet are jazz heavyweights Greg Loughman on bass and Mike Connors on Drums. Another frequent collaborator and equally gifted soloist and composer, Jason Palmer, will be joining the quartet on trumpet. The group will be performing music from their debut album, United, as well as brand new music form their forthcoming album, Sanctuary.
One of the youngest instructors at Bostons Berklee College of Music and an award winning composer, Jason Anick is a co-founder and a featured member of the Rhythm Future Quartet, one of the preeminent neo-Gypsy Jazz outfits; he also leads his own contemporary jazz ensemble, and performs with the Grammy-winning guitarist John Jorgenson. With performances all over the world and renowned venues like the Montreal Jazz Festival, Blue Note, Scullers Jazz Club, Yoshis Jazz Club, and TD Garden, Jason has proven himself to be a leader in the ever-growing contemporary string world. Anicks recordings as a leader include Sleepless, Tipping Point, and Travels.
Now based in New York City, Jason Yeager(whose own albums include Ruminationsand Affirmation) has considerable personal and professional ties to the New England area where he was born and raised. Currently teaching at Bostons Berklee College of Music, where he is also one of the colleges youngest pianists on the faculty, Yeager graduated with honors from a double degree program at Tufts University and New England Conservatory. He has performed across the US and abroad in Argentina, South Africa, and Botswana.
