Steeped in the nuevo tango styles of Astor Piazzolla,
Gotan Project, and Bajo Fondo, bassist/composer Sascha Jacobsen’s newest
project combines beats and textures from electronica, with influences from
flamenco filtered through an improvisational lens.
Featuring:
Sascha Jacobsen – bass
Carlos Caminos – guitar
Seth Asarnow – bandoneon
Ishtar Hernandez – violin
About the Artist:
Hailing from an illustrious musical family dating back at
least five generations to a bassist for the Moscow Opera in the early 19th
century, Sascha Jacobsen is a bassist who loves expanding on traditional forms.
He’s explored his passion for tango in ensembles like the Musical Art Quintet
and Trio Garufa, and his latest project, Los Tangueros del Oeste, might be his
most adventurous yet. The group features Seth Asarnow on the accordion-like
bandoneon, Daniel Riera on analog synthesizer and EWI (electronic wind
instrument), and violinist Ishtar Hernandez. Focusing on Jacobsen’s original
compositions, the band’s singular nuevo tango sound is cool and impassioned,
sensuous, seductive, and utterly dance-inducing.
Cost: $25 - $30
