At first glance, trombonist/vocalist Natalie Cressman and guitarist/vocalist Ian Faquini make for an unlikely duo. But within a few seconds of hearing their lustrous harmonies and graceful interplay, the magic of their chemistry is readily apparent. Built on their deep knowledge of jazz and the Brazilian songbook–Faquini was born in the capital Brasilia and moved to Berkeley as a teenager and Cressman hails from an illustrious musical clan known for collaborations with some of Brazil’s greatest musicians–their musical partnership has earned international acclaim over the past five years. Their repertoire encompasses jazz standards, classics from American and Brazilian songbooks, and sophisticated original songs including their acclaimed second album Auburn Whisper. An album written and recorded during the dark days of 2020, Auburn Whisper finds the two artists exploring a series of luxuriant soundscapes, reflecting on people and places they missed while discovering joy in the present moment. Their third album, to be released this spring, Guinga, is a tribute to the legendary Brazilian composer, guitarist and vocalist, who has mentored Faquini for more than a decade. Natalie has also been touring with the Trey Anastasio Band.This event will be outdoors at the Elephant in the Room. Must be 21 and over to enter.
