Last night, Jennifer Hartswick brought her quartet to New York's Fotografiska Museum in New York as part of the institution's ongoing Unfiltered Jazz Festival.
The performances by the ensemble have become increasingly rare and featured three of her oldest collaborators: Joe Davidian (piano), her current Trey Anastasio Band collaborator Dezron Douglas (bass) and Conor Elmes (drums).
During the performance at the six-story, 45,000-square-foot Renaissance Revival landmark, Hartswick and her contemporaries explored the many avenues of New York's greatest export. A highlight of the polished performance included Antibalas trumpeter Jordan McLean, one of the curators of the series, joining them for a cover of George Gershwin's iconic and diaphanous song "Summertime."
Hartswick will release her next album, Something in the Water, on Sept. 9 via Christian McBride's Mack Avenue Music and recently released the lead single off the project "Only Time Will Tell." Read more here.
