DESCRIPTION: Doors - 7:30pm \n\n Live Podcast Recording - 8:00pm \n\n Music
  - 8:40pm \n\n Sasha Berliner is a musician\, composer\, producer\, and ba
 nd leader from San Francisco\, CA. A rock drummer turned vibraphonist\, Sa
 sha was introduced to the instrument while attending Oakland School for th
 e Arts. She moved to New York City in 2016 to attend the New School for Ja
 zz and Contemporary Music\, studying under acclaimed vibraphonist Stefon H
 arris. Harris’ influence on Sasha\, in particular with regard to harmony
 \, directly aided the development of her unique style. \n\n For her first 
 visit to The Cooler\, we're kicking off with a live podcast recording with
  Irish Women in Jazz\, hosted by Jeni McMahon. Hear about Sasha's artistic
  approach and life as a musician on the New York scene. \n\n Following the
  conversation\, Sasha will perform a solo set of her own compositions and 
 arrangements\, an intimate show of solo vibraphone in the quiet space of T
 he Cooler. \n\n Sasha’s first marquee show on the NYC scene was at NYC W
 inter Jazz Fest in 2018\, followed soon after by Atlanta Jazz Fest and Bur
 lington Jazz Fest. She was the first US recipient of the LetterOne “Risi
 ng Stars” Jazz Award in 2019\, providing Sasha with an opportunity to to
 ur as a band leader\, while also facilitating the creation of her debut al
 bum Azalea in 2019. \n\n Azalea was nominated for JazzTimes 2019 Readers
 ’ Poll’s “Best New Release” and has been described as “shimmerin
 g and thoughtful” (Kassel\, TIDAL)\, “gleefully exploring various genr
 es and headspaces” (Tremblay\, CTEBCM). The record’s politically charg
 ed\, style-blending\, alternative jazz sound employs digital effects\, syn
 ths\, audio speech samples\, and strings\, bringing together Sasha’s div
 erse musical background and influences. \n\n The following year\, Sasha wa
 s named winner of the 2020 Downbeat Critics’ Poll “Rising Star – Vib
 raphone” category. She was both the first woman\, and at 21\, the younge
 st individual in the poll’s history to receive the award. She has been v
 oted one of the top ten vibraphonists in Downbeat Reader’s Polls every y
 ear since 2021. Sasha commissioned works for Modern Marimba and the SWR Ne
 wJAZZ Meeting as artist-in-residence for fall 2021\, which resulted in her
  suite of live music entitled Tabula Rasa\, released on CD in May 2023. \n
 \n Sasha’s second studio LP\, Onyx\, features all-star musicians Marcus 
 Gilmore\, Burniss Travis II\, James Francies\, Thana Alexa\, and Jaleel Sh
 aw\, and was tracked entirely analog to tape. The album was #1 on Jazzwise
 ’s “Charting the Jazz Message” chart\, and voted one of the best jaz
 z albums of the year by UK Vibe\, Textura\, Jazz Vinyl Collector\, and the
  17th Annual Francis Davis Jazz Poll. \n\n Sasha has headlined internation
 al venues like Newport Jazz Festival\, The Blue Note\, Montreal Jazz Festi
 val\, and Monterey Jazz Festival. In addition to performing with her own b
 and\, she has recorded and performed live with such renowned musicians as 
 Tyshawn Sorey\, Nicholas Payton\, Christian McBride\, and Cecile Mclorin S
 alvant. She is an endorsing artist for Marimba One and Vater Drumsticks. S
 asha has been a guest lecturer at University of Champaign-Illinois\, UC Sa
 n Diego\, Stanford Jazz Workshop\, and Berklee College of Music\, and is c
 urrently a Professor of Jazz and Jazz Composition at UC Irvine. \n
