Alex Hamburger Quartet:Over the last decade, flutist, vocalist, and composer Alex Hamburger has been creating her own musical direction. Her acclaimed sophomore album, What If? (Unit Records), blends acoustic and electric textures to explore transformation and perception, while her upcoming duo release, Catalog of Dreams (Challenge Records), with Brazilian pianist/composer José Luiz Martins, takes an intimate and creative approach to music that has shaped them.
Her music has been praised by All About Jazz, Jazzthing, Bandcamp, and more as "allowing the listener be immersed within the blurred lines and the harmonious coexistence of light and dark that ultimately remind us all of the interconnectedness of our shared human experience."
Alex continues to tour across the U.S., Europe, and South America with her own project, as well as as a sidewoman for many artists, including most recently having co-produced Brazilian pianist José Luiz Martins' Odyssey Mixtape, winner of the DCJazzPrix.
Alex also remains deeply connected to the DC music community as Managing Director of CapitalBop, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting, preserving, and presenting jazz in DC, as well as founder of My Body My Festival, a fundraiser for the DC Abortion Fund, and as a member of the GRAMMY Recording Academy DC Chapter and Strathmore Artist in Residence class.
ILLARI:
Ft. Nkoulda Badila (Vocals), Nicole Davis (Trumpet and Electronics), Nate Allen (Bass), Sean Morrison (Keys), Zane West (Drums), Angel Lau (Percussion)
ILLARI means “sunrise” and “new beginnings” in Quechua. The collective explores these ideas through interpretations of Afro-Peruvian and Brazilian music, jazz traditions, and new compositions—embracing the challenge of embodying rhythms from across the globe through its own collective voice. ILLARI approaches this music with presence, truth, and vulnerability, creating a space to connect to our roots, to one another, and to the sacred.
