The ‘Brooklyn Aliens’ are a Brooklyn based
collective made up of five jazz musicians from four different countries:
Spain, Germany, Sweden, and Chile. All members share the same story,
they left their home countries to pursue a music career in New York
City. Each member of the collective holds an "Artist Visa," which
defines them as "aliens with extraordinary abilities" and allows them to
perform throughout the United States. All five members have and
continue to tour and perform in numerous countries throughout the world.
The ‘Brooklyn Aliens’ are a composers collective where each member is
bringing in original music; sometimes based on a certain theme and
often using different instrumentations: clarinet, flute, voice &
electric bass. The music of the Brooklyn Aliens ranges from modern jazz
to contemporary classical to groovy danceable songs. This variety keeps
the music both challenging and interesting.
Saxophone players, Gianni Gagliardi and Tobias Meinhart are
established musicians in their home countries, Spain and Germany. Now
they are making their marks as bandleaders in New York.
Piano player Yago Vazquez, a native of Galicia, Spain, has been living
in New York for seven years. After graduating from the New School, he
became one of the most in demand piano players.
Lars Ekman is a Swedish bass player who has made a name for himself as a
versatile musician and can be found playing almost every night in the
many jazz clubs throughout New York.
Rodrigo Recabarren, a drummer, hails from Chile. He has performed in
many of the major festivals throughout South America and is deeply
involved in the Brooklyn Jazz Scene.
The Brooklyn Aliens are currently playing around the New York Area and
are planning an
extensive CD Release Tour for 2016.
