DESCRIPTION:DOORS 6:30pm  •  All Ages\n\nSponsored by Amantes del Ja
 zz \nTwo-time Grammy-nominated tenor saxophonist\, composer\, and bandlead
 er Melissa Aldana has emerged as one of the most important voices in conte
 mporary jazz. Internationally recognized for her commanding sound\, emotio
 nal depth\, and singular artistic vision\, she made history by becoming th
 e first woman to win an instrumental category in the Thelonious Monk Inter
 national Jazz Saxophone Competition and has since built a career defined b
 y artistic integrity\, technical brilliance\, and “an unmistakably perso
 nal approach to musical storytelling.” A native of Chile and a graduate 
 of Berklee College of Music\, Aldana soared to prominence with her 2010 de
 but release\, Free Fall\, and her acclaimed album\, Visions\, earned a 
 Grammy nomination for Best Improvised Jazz Solo. Her Blue Note debut\, 12
  Stars\, affirmed her place as “a major creative force with a deeply per
 sonal compositional voice\,” and her latest project\, Filin\, released 
 on Blue Note and inspired by the poetic Cuban ‘filin’ tradition is an 
 intimate ballads project featuring Gonzalo Rubalcaba\, Peter Washington\, 
 Kush Abadey\, and Cécile McLorin Salvant. Aldana’s music\, while roote
 d in the jazz tradition\, has been described as unmistakenly contemporary\
 , bringing together harmonic sophistication\, narrative clarity\, and a ra
 re sensitivity to tone\, space\, and emotion.  A celebrated bandleader in
  her own right\, Aldana has performed and collaborated with some of jazz
 ’s most influential figures\, including Wynton Marsalis\, Christian McBr
 ide\, Jimmy Heath\, Joe Lovano\, Danilo Pérez\, Terri Lyne Carrington\, 
 Cécile McLorin Salvant\, and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. The Melissa Aldana Quart
 et features Glenn Zaleski\, piano\; Pablo Menares\, bass\; and Kendrick S
 cott\, drums. Coincidentally\, today— September 23\, 2026—marks the 1
 00th birthday of every tenor saxophonist’s idol\, the legendary John Co
 ltrane\, $45/$35 Outpost Members (No Member Passes). $15 Students with cur
