Music: Daniela Schachter Quintet

Presented by The Music Hall and Seacoast Jazz Society

Daniela Schächter, piano and vocals
Jason Palmer, trumpet
Rick DiMuzio, saxophone
Keala Kaumeheiwa, bass
Bertram Lehmann, drums/percussion

Daniela Schächter and her group will perform a mix of original compositions and jazz standards reinterpreted with a contemporary spin. Her piano explorations go often beyond the form, and her singing goes from lyricism à la Shirley Horn to wordless vocalese that resembles a flute. She is in excellent company with Jason Palmer on trumpet, Rick DiMuzio on saxophones, Keala Kaumeheiwa on acoustic bass, and Bertram Lehmann on drums.
