Jazz Standard welcomes back Sasha Masakowski – “a charismatic performer and one of the brightest young talents in the Big Easy,” per influential New Orleans monthly Offbeat – following her triumphant Jazz Standard debut in June 2017. A member of one of New Orleans’ prominent musical families (her father is guitarist Steve Masakowski, and brother Martin will be on bass tonight), Sasha Masakowski has earned the reputation of a fearless improviser and a charming interpreter. Her latest CD Art Market takes this adventurous artist into new territory, not only as a vocalist but also as a composer and bandleader. The album features both traditional tunes reimagined and original songs fashioned for a charming, energetic, and edgy New Orleans music experience. “Masakowski’s marvelous voice can be sly, sexy, exotic and arresting as she works her way through an incredibly diverse array of music that crosses cultural and stylistic lines in interesting ways.” (All About Jazz) Sasha Masakowski – vocals, synth  Cliff Hines – guitar Chris Bullock – sax Martin Masakowski – bass Peter Varnardo – drums
