SUMMARY:Pioneer Valley Jazz Shares - sinonó

Described as “middle-of-the-night music” (Dada Strain)\, the trio features vocalist and composer isabel crespo pardo\, cellist Lester St. Louis\, and bassist Henry Fraser. Together\, they perform crespo’s “poemsongs” – pieces built around metaphor and improvisation that shift in performance\, but always remain tied to poetry and breath. sinonó has performed at venues such as Roulette Intermedium\, The DiMenna Center\, and Lincoln Center Atrium\, and their debut album la espalda y su punto radiante (Subtext Recordings) released in Spring 2024. They will record their sophomore album this Fall at Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NY). \nMore about this performance can be found at https://www.jazzshares.org/events/sinono-1
