TYLER BLANTON

Sun, Apr 20

Vibraphonist Tyler Blanton is becoming known as a new and identifiable voice on the instrument. With his distinctly lyrical and nuanced 4 mallet approach to the vibraphone, he has been praised as “an heir to the swinging and melodically charged throne of post-bop masters such as Gary Burton and Bobby Hutcherson.” A prolific composer, Blanton’s musical endeavors consistently involve top musicians in the New York music scene such as Donny McCaslin, Nate Wood, Ari Hoenig, Drew Gress, and Johnathan Blake, among others. For this special Sunday evening show you should expect an infectious array of Bossa Nova, Sambas, and selections from the great Brazilian songbook both familiar and lesser known. Featuring an all-star NYC based band! Doors 4:30pm / Sets at 5:30pm & 7pm / Your 5:30pm ticket ($10-$20) guarantees your seat for both sets, walk-in seating for the 7pm set is based upon availability. There is a $25 food/beverage minimum per person/per set.
