On Tuesday 21 June 2016, the GREGOR HUEBNER EL VIOLIN LATINO QUARTET will be performing at The Zinc Bar (82 West 3rd Street (bet Thompson & Sullivan Streets). While Cuban poet Mappy Torres describes the “Latin Violin“ with words, violinist/composer/bandleader Gregor Huebner describes it with his music. With GREGOR HUEBNER, Award-winning violinist/composer/ bandleader; KLAUS MULLER, pianist; ITAIGUARA BRANDAO, bassist; JEROME GOLDSCHMIDT, percussionist.
Gregor Huebner always had a passion for Latin music. He has been a member of tango groups, jazz formations and much more. His excellent violin performances can be heard on many albums, including solo projects. Gregor’s first recording project under the name “El Violin Latino” was released in 2011 to rave reviews in Europe as well as the USA in publications including the Wall Street Journal. Last March, Gregor and his Quartet released the second album of “El Violin Latino-No.2” during a two-week European Tour in Germany and Luxembourg, then in April in New York City at the Garage Series and at the German House. Huebner´s recipe for success is: “Absorb everything you experience, and then concentrate on the things that interest you. But never deny where you came from.” Thus his own roots and personal experiences play a central role in his music and in his playing. Born and raised in Germany, Gregor has been residing in New York City for several years.
Jérôme Goldschmidt is an established musician/percussion player. He moved to New York in 1996 and became a faculty member of the Harbor Performing Arts Center, recognised as one of the premier teaching institutions in the country of Afro-Carribean culture. He has played with a variety of diverse groups, including Tito Puente Orchestra, Mong Santamaria, Chico O’Farrill’s Afro-Cuban Big Band, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Vega Sextet, Oscar Hernandez, to name a few. He was soloist with Stuttgart Chamber Music Orchestra, the Wurttemberg Philharmonie. He has been playing with violinist/bandleader/composer Gregor Huebner for over a decade including at the Luxembourg House and at the German House in New York. In 2014, the Consulate General of Luxembourg presented the newly created Huebner’s El Violin Latino Quartet at Something Jazz Club. Jérôme was born and raised in Luxembourg and has been residing in New York City since 1996.
