Valentine's Day Album Release Party!

Valentine's Day Album Release Party!

Get ready to celebrate love and music at our Valentine's Day Album Release Party! Join us in person for a night of great music from Sarah Wilson's Brass Tonic featuring their new album, Incandescence at the wonderful Della Fattoria in Petaluma, CA. It's the perfect way to share the love and enjoy original jazz from Petaluma's own Sarah Wilson. Don’t miss out on this special event!

Community spirit has been a constant in the work of Bay Area composer and trumpet player Sarah Wilson, whose experiences and inspirations have ranged from socially conscious puppet theater to brass band and New Orleans traditions to her own illuminating style of jazz. While deeply shaped by jazz, Wilson’s music stylistically owes as much to avant pop, Afro-Latin grooves and indie rock as the post-bop continuum.

During a 2023 AIR-Artist in Residence Niederösterreich in Krems, Austria, Wilson encountered the paintings of Viennese artist Thomas Reinhold. One of the founding figures of German “New Painting” or “Junge Wilde,” Reinhold’s large-scale work combines architectural planning with the chance effects of time. Wilson’s reaction to the paintings inspired the music on Wilson’sIncandescence, the joy-fueled new 2025 album by her sextet Brass Tonic.

Brass Tonic featuring herself (trumpet), Kasey Knudsen (alto sax), Mara Fox (trombone), John Schott (guitar), Lisa Mezzacappa (bass), and Jason Levis (drums), will celebrate this new album release at Della Fattoria.

Wilson grew up in Healdsburg, CA playing trumpet in school bands, eventually receiving the McCord Alumni Scholarship to study music in New York City. She now resides again locally in Petaluma.
