This Livestream features two of the brightest stars of modern jazz today.

Pianist Fabian Almazan was born in Cuba, grew up in Miami, and studied in Northern California at the Brubeck Institute and with Kenny Barron at the Manhattan School of Music.

A longtime member of the Terence Blanchard Quintet, Almazan has worked with many other top artists including Gretchen Parlato, Paquito D’Rivera, and Ambrose Akinmusire, and released five albums of his own.

Bassist Linda May Han Oh, who was born in Malaysia and grew up in Australia, played several instruments before settling on the bass in high school.

She has worked with many of the who’s who of jazz during the past dozen years including Pat Metheny, Steve Wilson, Jon Irabagon, and Billy Childs.

On April 18, 2020, Linda May Han Oh and Fabian Almazan teamed up for a set of colorful and diverse originals, with the music starting three minutes into the performance; they clearly inspire each other throughout.
