JAZZ: SASHA BERLINER

Join us Tuesday, July 8th in the Greenhouse for our very first rooftop jazz performance.

We’re thrilled to welcome vibraphonist and composer Sasha Berliner, hailed by JazzTimes as a “young mallet master,” for an unforgettable night under the stars.
 
Based in Los Angeles, Sasha is the #1 Rising Star Vibraphonist in the DownBeat Critics Poll and a 2024 NPR Jazz Night in America “Youngblood.” She has shared the stage with Christian McBride, Tyshawn Sorey, Marcus Gilmore, Justin Brown, and Cécile McLorin Salvant—and leads her own boundary-pushing quintet.
 
Sasha’s music fuses the acoustic with the electronic, marrying politically charged themes, sampling, and harmonically rich improvisation into a bold, forward-thinking, jazz aesthetic.

“Berliner is already a very mature instrumentalist […] maybe she’s the best vibraphone player to emerge in decades.” – Arnaldo DeSouteiro, Brazilian record producer and music historian

“Berliner is in the firmament of the here and now in modern jazz, and appears likely to occupy that upper stratosphere for some time to come.” – Paul Rauch, All About Jazz

“Never before have I heard a vibraphonist display such power, nor one who composes with such contemporary relevance and acute understanding of orchestration.” – Thierry De Clemensat, Paris Move

Sasha’s latest album, Fantôme (Outside In Records), is “an exhilarating collection of originals” (WBGO), and Making a Scene calls it “a splatter-painting of iridescent hues across the canvas of our minds.”
