Join us on the Plaza for a relaxing evening of Jazz. Tonight's performers are the Jason Anick and Nihco Gallo Duet: Violin and Vibes

Vibraphonist Nihco Gallo and violinist Jason Anick join forces for a special evening of music from Astor Piazzolla (Argentinian Tango), choro music from Brazil, and selections from the American jazz tradition.

Berklee College of Music Professor Jason Anick has earned a reputation among string players as an imaginative improviser, versatile composer, and insightful educator.

Growing up playing fiddle tunes with his family and classical music with local orchestras, he developed a passion for improvisation, which led him to study jazz and classical music at Hartt Conservatory. As a band-leader, Anick has launched a variety of musical projects over the years, including the Gypsy Jazz group Rhythm Future Quartet, an Americana-inspired Acoustic Trio, and a contemporary jazz ensemble with pianist Jason Yeager. His string of recordings (Sleepless, Tipping Point, United, Travels, Rhythm Future Quartet and Friends) has earned him praise from Downbeat Magazine as a "Rising Star in the world of jazz violin.

The vibraphonist Nihco Gallo has established for himself a unique place in the Southern Maine and New Hampshire music landscape, earning performance bona fides in jazz clubs, dive bars, and on the street. The self-taught mallet percussionist draws influence from jazz, minimalism, and music from South America. In spring 2020, Gallo incorporated the Bad-Year Society and established a rigorous schedule of street performances throughout New England.
