Writing in The Wall Street Journal, Will Friedwald declared: “Bria Skonberg looks like a Scandinavian angel (or Thor’s girlfriend), plays trumpet like a red–hot devil, and sings like a dream.” Jazz guitar legend Bucky Pizzarelli says: “Bria radiates an energy that is so refreshing to see, and her compositional chops are on par with her ability to swing!” This prodigiously talented musician earned a 2013 Jazz Journalists Association nomination for “Up and Coming Jazz Artist of The Year” and has been cited as a “Rising Star” in the Down Beat Critics‘ Poll for the past two years. Best known for her knowledge of classic jazz and pursuit of worldwide adventure, Skonberg is now creating a style rooted in hot jazz, Afro–Latin percussion, and electronic effects, as captured on her latest album Into Your Own (Random Act Records). Her quintet will feature Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra luminary Victor Goines on saxophone and clarinet.
