Mary Ancheta Quartet
Thursday, January 23, 2025 @ 7:30 pm
Doors open at 7:00 pm
Keyboardist Mary Ancheta is a Canadian / Filipina artist who steps into the spotlight with her genre-bending organic, modern take on jazz and electro-funk. Inspired by the likes of Squarepusher, The Meters, John Scofield, and Prince, Ancheta knows what’s up when it comes to arresting melodies and irresistible grooves with Paul Clark on drums, Dominic Conway on sax, and Matt Reid on bass. Encompassing her experience in film scoring Ancheta seeks to tap into raw fuelled moments favouring grittiness over perfection.
Mary Ancheta Quartet opened for BADBADNOTGOOD for a SOLD OUT performance and as well played the MainStage at the renowned Montreal Jazz Festival performing just before Domi & JD Beck, and the Vancouver International Jazz Festival performing before Louis Cole Big Band.
“Creatively adventurous and musically dexterous.”
