Music in the North Barn: Convergence Project featuring Wanda Houston
Advertisement
The Convergence Project led by composer and pianist Eugene Uman, and featuring vocalist Wanda Houston, will bring a blend of swing, funk and Colombian rhythms to Retreat Farm’s Winter Concert Series. They balance an artistic tightrope blending a variety of music that is innovative and exploratory as well as accessible and groove-oriented.
Leader Eugene Uman uses this group to present his own original compositions, many of which were inspired by his years living in Colombia, South America. “The intention when writing these pieces was to combine the vocabulary and swing of jazz with the edge of rock and funk and the inspiration of Colombian folkloric rhythms such as pasillo, cumbia and currulao” says Uman.
This performance will include world-class vocalist, Wanda Houston. When Houston joins the group, the vibe and repertoire embraces her penchant for singing soul and gospel music, as well as classic jazz standards.
