Jazz Trombonist Emily Asher Brings Her Garden Party to the BOP STOP

Tue 6/4 @ 7PM

Thankfully, it’s getting less unusual to find women jazz musicians doing something other than singing or playing piano. One of those is Brooklyn-based trombonist Emily Asher, originally from Seattle. After several years of teaching in Washington state, she struck out for New York City more than a decade ago where she put down roots in the music scene.

It was there that she formed her band Emily Asher’s Garden Party eight years ago with fellow Seattle-ite trumpet player Skonberg to record Asher’s debut Dreams May Take You. Skonberg has moved on to a solo career, but Asher recruited yet another Seattle musician Mike Davis to take over the trumpet slot, while Rob Adkins plays bass and Adam Moezinia handles guitar when the band performs as a quartet, as they will when they come to the BOP STOP.

Expect to hear music that blends the New Orleans traditional jazz of Louis Armstrong and Kid Ory, with the work of classic Great American Songbook writers such as songwriting mastery of Hoagy Carmichael and Irving Berlin, and jazz vocal eminences such as Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday, with Asher on vocals as well as trombone and her own compositions part of the mix.

Tickets are $15.
