LIVE PERFORMANCE • THE LITTLE CAFE

Jacobo Vega-Albela Quintet :: Thursday, Jan. 30

Jacobo Vega-Albela presents a new band of musical collaborators from Rochester, New York. The quartet will be performing a set of original compositions by the members, as well as songbook selections and post-bop compositions from the 60s and onward. A fresh sound that is modern and forward-looking while rooted in the jazz idiom makes for a night of engaging music and exciting interaction between group members. Vega-Albela was a 2023 participant in Betty Carter’s Jazz Ahead, and a 2022 graduate of the Eastman School of Music.

He recently recorded an album called Un-Belonging that can be purchase on Bandcamp.
