About

Doors open up at 7:30

Leading a rotating cast of musicians, Figarova has attained a distinctive voice by concentrating predominantly on an all-original repertoire for nearly two decades. Since arriving on scene, she has collaborated with musicians residing in both the United States and Europe, building up a plethora of venues that welcome her performance. The Amina Figarova Sextet has triumphed at the main stage of the Newport Jazz Festival, been invited repeatedly to New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, won critical and audience acclaim in Chicago, Detroit, Paris, Amsterdam — and of course New York, where she and Platteau, a Belgian native, now reside.
