Choi/Sacks/Sperrazza is a trio that has been making music together for over 20 years. Featuring Yoon Sun Choi (voice), Jacob Sacks (piano), and Vinnie Sperrazza (drums), the group reimagines standards and songs they love with a deeply intuitive, exploratory approach. Though bass-less, the trio’s sound is full and harmonically rich, never feeling lacking in depth or foundation. Their long-standing musical relationship allows for seamless interplay, creating fresh, spontaneous interpretations with every performance.
Vocalist and composer Tammy Scheffer has been an active presence in NYC’s music scene for nearly two decades, moving between jazz, progressive rock, improvisation, and contemporary classical music. Praised by the Chicago Tribune as “innovative, provocative and alluring,” she has appeared on recordings with Stefan Bauer, Amanda Monaco, and Joe Phillips, and performed at venues including Carnegie Hall, Birdland, the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage, and the San Sebastian Jazz Festival.
Tonight's program features Tammy’s original music, shaped through live looping, layered textures, and improvisation, woven together with the intimacy and storytelling of the singer-songwriter tradition.
