Aubrey Johnson
At just 24, jazz vocalist Aubrey Johnson has already been awarded on two separate occasions Downbeat Magazine’s “Best Jazz Vocalist” in their collegiate Student Music Awards (2007, 2008.) Johnson brings her lush, beautiful, and soulful sound to an eclectic set of modern arrangements of jazz standards and her own original compositions, creating an ideal blend of the elements we love most of classic jazz vocals with the freshness of new talent, refined skill, and fierce ambition.Composer-pianist Brian Friendland’s modern jazz sextet “Rhombus” is a Boston-based band focused on playing creative original music that explores a wide range of ideas and atmospheres through intricate compositions and daring improvisations. Rhombus combines elements of jazz, Balkan music, and rock with unique, catchy melodies and a passion for spontaneity.
