Altoist Roman Filiu was born and raised in Cuba.
An avant-garde player with a complex improvising style, impressive technique, and his own sound, Filiu is based in New York and has worked with Irakere, the David Murray Big Band, Andrew Cyrille, Gonzalo Rublacaba, Steve Coleman, Miguel Zenón, Mchele Rosewoman, Roy Hargrove and many others.
Filiu performs regularly with Henry Threadgill´s Ensemble Double Up, and leads his own quartet and the group Quarteria.
On his LiveStream from June 3, 2020, Roman Filiu performs his “Danza #2, the unaccompanied ”Langsam,” and the rhythmic and relatively accessible “Cha Cha Cha Danza #7.”
Filiu is accompanied by pianist Luis Guerra (who is unseen) on two of the three improvisations; the altoist’s playing throughout is thoughtful and purposeful while always being adventurous.

Review:
This is the one hundred seventy-fifth in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Guitarist Mason Razavi earned degrees from San Jose State University and Berklee.
Based in San Jose, California, Razavi works regularly in the San Francisco Bay area and has recorded with organist Robert Kennedy’s trio and as a leader for the OA2 label.
While the latter mostly features mostly his original music for a quintet and a nonet, Mason Razavi’s solo LiveStream from June 1, 2020 has the solo guitarist playing pretty chords and swinging solos on a set of standards.
Such songs as “The Days Of Wine And Roses,” “I Guess I’ll Hang My Tears Out To Dry,” “Night And Day” Horace Silver’s “Peace,” “Satin Doll,” “In A Sentimental Mood,” and “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” benefit from Mason Razavi’s melodic and quietly inventive treatments.

Review:
This is the Hundredth and thirty-third in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Bria Skonberg, who is from British Columbia, made her initial reputation as a hot jazz trumpeter, appearing at many jazz festivals and leading the Mighty Aphrodite Jazz Band.
She led several other groups (including Bria’s Hot Five and the Big Bang Jazz Band), moved to New York in 2010, and developed her skills as a singer, entertainer and bandleader while also co-founding the New York Hot Jazz Festival.
On her LiveStream from Sept. 20, 2020, Bria Skonberg begins in spectacular fashion by playing unaccompanied trumpet on a four-minute version of “That’s A Plenty,” going through all of the themes and playing all of the parts (including a drum break).
Among the other highlights are seeing her sing and play a keyboard on “Sway,” vocalizing and whistling while backing herself on guitar during “I Wish You Love,” utilizing a plunger mute during her trumpet solo on “Gee Baby, Ain’t I Good To You,” and performing such numbers as “Love Me Or Leave Me” (while playing piano), “L-O-V-E,” “Brazil,” Pete Seeger’s “Where Have All The Flowers Gone,” a Hoagy Carmichael medley (“Stardust,” “Riverboat Shuffle,” a very brief “Georgia On My Mind” and “Jubilee”), and “Que Sera Sera,” clearly having a great time throughout.

Review:
This is the eighty seventh in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.
Support live music – even when it’s streamed!
An impressive trumpeter, Jorge Vistel studied at the National Art School in his native Cuba
In 2005 he moved to Europe where he has worked with such major names as Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove, David Murray, Lewis Nash, Benny Green, Gary Thomas and many others, touring with pianist Alfredo Rodriguez’s Invasion Parade in 2014, and leading or co-leading four of his own albums.
For his solo trumpet LiveStream from May 31, 2020, Jorge Vistel displays a warm tone, impressive technique, a vivid imagination and impeccable breath control.
He performs such originals as “Transition,” “Fiesta En El Batey” and “Hamilton City,” with the highlight being his fresh and rhythmic rendition of “The Peanut Vendor.”
