Molly Holm
Friday, August 26, 2005
jazz & world music vocalist
Door 7:30pm, Music 8:00pm | Purchase advance tickets: $19.50

A jazz singer with a distinctive vision, Molly Holm blends straight-ahead jazz with North Indian raga singing, Brazilian bossa nova, the experimental textures of freely improvised music, and even American pop songs. In her performances, Molly draws on 25 years of collaborative solo and ensemble experience, including work with some of the best artists in jazz, world music, and beyond, including Bobby McFerrin's Voicestra, Terry Riley's Khayal, and Zakir Hussain's S.F. Jazz Festival commission, "Rapt No Strings."

For tonight's performance, which spotlights original compositions as well as adding interesting twists to a diverse set of jazz standards, Molly brings together an exceptional rhythm section led by pianist Frank Martin, the "king of odd-metered arrangements." Also featured will be trombonist, arranger, and Afro-Cuban aficionado, Wayne Wallace, and drummer, Deszon Claiborne.
