Erik Jekabson String­tet

Trumpeter/composer Erik Jekabson brings together many different influences with his “String­tet”; modern jazz, classical, New Orleans traditional jazz, funk, improvised music and latin jazz. With violin, viola, sax, trumpet, bass and drums doubling on vibes, the music can veer into many different sonic territories but always does so with an ear towards lyrical melodies and strong grooves. With Mads Tolling, violin; Charith Premawardhana, viola, Dann Zinn, tenor sax, John Wiitala, bass and Smith Dobson, drums and vibes.
