As a part of her Nu Sounds Series debut, Winnipeg vocalist Amber Epp will combine original compositions and instrumental standards adapted for voice with original lyrics and vocalese. As a composer, Amber leans towards the groove-oriented vibes of Latin American jazz. She has been studying Afro-Cuban, Brasilian, and African music over the past two years, and the jazz idiom fuses very well with Latin rhythms. Amber has basic fluency in Spanish, and can sing in both Spanish and Portuguese. She has worked a lot with Latin players over the past couple of years, and feels truly comfortable in this genre. Amber’s repertoire also includes arrangements of well-known pieces from the jazz mainstream. She has composed lyrics for both melodies and solos in works by Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland, Hank Mobley, Sam Rivers, Dave Brubeck, Stanley Cowell, and Steve Kirby. Amber’s band-mates contribute to the performance experience not only by playing as a cohesive unit, but by offering input on composition and arrangements as well. All of the members of the band bring a wide knowledge of jazz and other genres, and a great deal of stage experience as well. Amber Epp in Rhythm is: Amber Epp, Keith Price, Will Bonness, Julian Bradford, Curtis Nowosad, and Scott Senior.
