SUMMARY:Miguel Zenon Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Multiple Grammy Nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zen n represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation\, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist\, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American Folkloric Music and Jazz.\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in San Juan\, Puerto Rico\, Zen n has released nine recordings as a leader\, including Identities are Changeable (2014) and the Grammy Nominated Alma Adentro (2011). As a sideman he has worked with jazz luminaries such as The SFJAZZ Collective\, Charlie Haden\, The Mingus Big Band\, Bobby Hutcherson\, David Sanchez\, Danilo Perez\, Fred Hersch\, Kenny Werner and Steve Coleman.\n\n\n\nZen n has been featured in articles on publications such as The New York Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Los Angeles Times\, as well as gracing the cover of Downbeat Magazine on two occasions (2010 and 2014). In addition\, he topped both the Jazz Artist of the Year and Alto Saxophonist categories on the 2104 Jazz Times Critics Poll and was selected as 2015 Alto Saxophonist of the Year by the Jazz Journalist Association.\n\n\n\nAs a composer he has been commissioned by SFJAZZ\, The New York State Council for the Arts\, Chamber Music America\, The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, Peak Performances\, PRISM Quartet and many of his peers. Zen n has given hundreds of lectures and master classes at institutions all over the world\, and is a permanent faculty member at New England Conservatory of Music.
