Naomi Moon Siegel & Lee Rizzo at ZACC

Doors @ 7:00 pm

“The impression given by Naomi Moon Siegel is that she is serenading the constellations. There’s an imagery inherent to her music that is greater than the calculus of the notes, much in the same way a certain collection of stars become meaningful in the context of their astronomical shape and name and story.” – Dave Sumner, Best of 2019 Jazz on Bandcamp

The Naomi Moon Siegel Quartet is a genre-bending, experiential adventure weaving instrumental landscapes from deep grooves, soaring melodies, visceral textures, creative interplay, and improvisation. Featuring Lhanna Writesel on saxophone, Tommy Sciple on bass, Ed Stalling on drums and Siegel on trombone, this collaboration plays original compositions that take new life with each performance. Join us for the journey.

Trombonist, composer and educator Naomi Moon Siegel has “crafted a truly unique aesthetic, combining elements of straightahead, fusion and modern jazz with world-music flavors in a way that sounds entirely of the 21st century” (JAZZIZ). A recipient of the Montana Arts Council Artist Innovation Award, Chamber Music America Performance Plus Grant, Jazz Journalist Association Jazz Hero Award and Earshot Jazz Golden Ear Award, she has released two albums as a bandleader to critical acclaim.

Lee Rizzo is a humanist folk artist based in Missoula, MT. She released her debut solo album Moon Light Moon, June 2022. She shares the stage with long time accompaniment Jordan Demander.
