One of the most promising young saxophonists on the scene today, Alexa Tarantino earned degrees from Juilliard and the Eastman School of Music and has worked with Cecile McLorin Salvant, Diva, Ulysses Owens, Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra the Verve Jazz Ensemble, Chris Teal, Lioness, and baritonist Lauren Sevian (with whom she co-leads LSAT).
As a leader, Alexa Tarantino has headed two albums thus far: Winds Of Change and Clarity.
On her LiveStream from June 6, 2020, she performs duets with pianist Steven Feifke including “Through” (in which she plays flute), the uptempo “A Unified Front” (highlighted by some heated alto-piano tradeoffs), a beautiful bolero also on alto, and a Feifke original.
This LiveStream is filled with inventive and swinging modern jazz.

Sivan Arbel is a singer-composer who was originally from Israel.
She studied voice and dance in the art center of Yad Harif starting when she was ten, becoming interested in jazz while in high school.
Sivan Arbel performed as a singer and dancer in Israel, Turkey, Bulgaria and the U.S., led a jazz duo, sang in a musical, toured with a rock group, and graduated from the Rimon School of Music in Israel; she also spent a year studying jazz in Dublin, Ireland.
On her LiveStream from June 5, 2020, Sivan Arbel performs haunting original ballads as a singer and accompanying keyboardist, creating folk-oriented music that is thoughtful and occasionally dramatic; the performance is followed by a video.

Review:
This is the sixty-first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

On their LiveStream of June 26, 2020, guitarist Oscar Peñas and bassist Manel Fortia play exquisite and lightly swinging duets that are a little reminiscent of Jim Hall and Ron Carter.
Bassist Manel Fortia is from Catalan and based in both Barcelona and New York.
Fortia has worked with such notables as Dave Liebman, Chris Cheek, Bill McHenry, Eliot Zigmund, Ari Hoenig, Arturo O’Farrill, Chano Dominguez, and many others in addition to leading his own projects.
Oscar Peñas, who was born in Barcelona, has blended together jazz, classical and folk music from several cultures in his playing.
He has led four albums thus far, working with Esperanza Spalding, Paquito D’Rivera, and Ron Carter.
Their LiveStream has the guitar-bass duo performing straight-ahead jazz including “Alone Together,” an original that uses the chord changes of “I Got Rhythm,” an attractive ballad, “All The Things You Are,” “Get Out Of Town,” and the medium-tempo blues “Walkin’.”
The subtle interplay between Manel Fortia and Oscar Peñas results in a relaxed yet swinging set of boppish jazz.
