On a jazz scene brimming with exceptionally gifted young drummers, Elé Salif Howell is rapidly earning a spot in the crowded top tier. A conspicuously talented accompanist before he reached his teens, the San Francisco native has thrived since moving to New York City in 2016, forging deep creative connections with leading contemporaries, mid-career masters and revered veterans. For this homecoming concert, Howell is joined by São Paulo born guitarist Vinicius Gomes and bassist Noah Garabedian. Together this eclectic trio deftly explores the fascinating musical dialogue between contemporary jazz and Brazilian music and invites us into the conversation.
