Michael Sarian’s ESQUINA with Sam Ross Quartet

  • PS1 Close House 538 South Gilbert Street Iowa City, IA, 52240 United States (map)

Presented by Natural Talent Music

Trumpeter Michael Sarian’s ESQUINA draws inspiration from Miles Davis’s groundbreaking work with electronics and extended improvisation. Their innovative approach features Sarian’s loosely structured compositions and graphic scores, seamlessly integrating themes and sounds from his Armenian heritage. ESQUINA emphasizes group interplay, allowing the ensemble to explore and create unique performances that vary with each show. This project not only highlights Sarian’s artistic vision but also invites audiences to experience the spontaneity and depth of contemporary jazz in a fresh, captivating way. Their upcoming album is set for release April 25 on Greenleaf Music.
