Michelle Pollace's Latin Jazz Trio creates a joyous,
spontaneous energy, presenting familiar melodies and critically acclaimed
originals set to alluring Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms. Whether performing
her own compositions or her arrangements of standards, Bay Area native Michelle
Pollace [poh-LAH-chi] honors the roots of jazz, Brazilian, and Afro-Cuban music
while adding a new voice. Her performance highlights creative arrangements of
jazz melodies set to alluring Afro-Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, as well as
original compositions from Michelle’s critically acclaimed CD “New Beginning.”
Michelle’s love of melody and affinity for well-structured compositions creates
a classic sound, of which critic Mark Tucker of Folk & Acoustic Music
Exchange writes, “I’m highly reminded of Ahmad Jamal’s ... and others’ old
canons of work.” This melodic sensibility makes her music accessible to a wide
audience.
