Morwenna Lasko & Jpun Quartet W/ezra John at Club Bonafide

Morwenna Lasko & Jay Pun have a sound all their own. Having influences from all over including Jazz, Funk, Worldbeat, Classical and more, to categorize their music is nearly impossible.

As a duo or with their full band, they are a strong force and continue to bring freshness to their fans around the globe.

Their new album, “The Hollow” (recorded with their quartet, Pete Spaar on Upright Bass and Devonne Harris on Drums/Keys) was on December 15th, 2015 and features their unique evolving sound as well as some very special guests, including gypsy guitarist, Stephane Wrembel, legendary fretless bassist, Michael Manring, Columbian percussionist, Tupac Mantilla, accordionist, Thomas Lasko, vocalist, Ezra Hamilton and guitarist, Joe Lawlor....

Their new album, “The Hollow” (recorded with their quartet, Pete Spaar on Upright Bass and Devonne Harris on Drums/Keys) was on December 15th, 2015 and features their unique evolving sound as well as some very special guests, including gypsy guitarist, Stephane Wrembel, legendary fretless bassist, Michael Manring, Columbian percussionist, Tupac Mantilla, accordionist, Thomas Lasko, vocalist, Ezra Hamilton and guitarist, Joe Lawlor.

The album was recorded in part at the Dave Matthews Band studio, just outside of Charlottesville, VA. Mixing was done by Grammy award winning engineer, Alex Venguer (John Legend, The Roots, Loudon Wainwright III) in Brooklyn, NY and mastered by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering (Ben Howard) in Karsruhe, Germany.

“Unlike your average symphony or self-taught acoustic musician, Pun and Lasko seem to approach their music from a genre-transcending, Bruce Lee-esque perspective, using education as a vehicle for liberating themselves from the limitations imposed by traditional forms. In other words, they’ve really gotten into jazz.” – Eric Wallace, C-Ville Weekly, January, 2016

“Although Lasko and Pun have been on this path of discovery for 10 years, they still struggle with defining the music they play. Pun said the musical term that first comes to his mind is “world,” because their sound encompasses several different styles, including jazz. Lasko doesn’t try to give it a name or pigeonhole it here or there.” – David Mauer, Daily Progress
