Bassist-composer Giulia Valle presents the GUILIA VALLE TRIO at APAP with a showcase on Sunday, January 17. Valle, an extraordinary musician of Italian and Spanish descent, is making a return visit to the States, having last performed at SFJazz, Seattle's Earshot, Vancouver Jazz, the International Festival in Montreal and the famed Blue Note in New York.
Valle boasts an advanced rhythmic and melodic touch, drawn from her exposure to the sounds of the world. Her music is a rare blend of vibrant and earthy. Energized by the Tango and a host of Latin and Caribbean rhythms, she is a modernist with a romantic bent, a charismatic performer who commands attention. Her music wears its emotions broadly. In that sense she connects with her fans on a deep, engaging level.
Joining her on stage are celebrated rhythm mates, pianist Marco Mezquida and drummer David Xirgu. Each is dedicated to risk and reward with an emphasis on collective group interplay.
In Europe, Valle is recognized as a force of nature. Her appearance at APAP should not be missed.

ABOUT THE GIULIA VALLE TRIO
The Giulia Valle Trio exhibits an air of generous fluidity, tracing a dreamlike trajectory between be-bop harmonies, contemporary experimentation, South American folklore, Balcan sounds and Andalusian rhythms.
As a leader, Valle's aim is to develop the most sympathetic and interactive expression of musical discourse. She does this with extraordinary musicians - pianist Marco Mezquida and drummer David Xirgu.
Both Mezquida and Xirgu are celebrated in their own right. Marco has energy and virtuosity dedicated to the harmonious rigor of team play. Xirgu is considered to be one of Europe's most creative drummers. He has played and recorded with many important jazz musicians, such as Ben Monder, Dave Douglas, John Abercrombie, Vince Mendoza, and Mark Feldman.
The music of the Giulia Valle Trio is unpredictable - an unusual ensemble of honest, collaboration.
