Gata Jazz is the newest creation of 2x Grammy award nominee, vocalist and pianist Melvis Santa. In the jazz world, being called a "cat" is the ultimate mark of musical respect. Gata Jazz, the feminine Spanish translation—claims that title for the woman's perspective. Melvis Santa presents Gata Jazz, a NYC-based all-female trio dedicated to diversifying the sonic landscape of modern jazz. For Melvis, the name symbolizes musical respect and female empowerment. Integrating Afro-Cuban avant-garde, blues, and Latin influences, the ensemble explores the intersectional diasporic experiences of women in a historically male- dominated scene.
Co-Presented with the Embassy of Cuba
