“Chris Vasi juxtaposes clean, elegant electric guitar lines with a layered tsunami of brass- a satisfying effect every time.” - AFROPOP WORLDWIDE

Christopher Vasi’s lifelong obsession with the guitar has led him through rock and blues into jazz and music from around the world. He has been deeply involved in the Richmond music scene since the late 20th century. Recordings include the Vesuvius cd and the Monk’s Playground project, reimagining the music of Monk using elements of funk, Eastern, odd-meter, New Orleans, and flamenco.

Chris is a founding member of Afro-Zen Allstars, the 9-piece global-music juggernaut that regularly thrills the Revelér crowd. He also stays busy collaborating with many other great musicians such as Roger Carroll and Brian Cruse and performing for all kinds of events, and serving as a guitar instructor for private lessons.

This special performance features a set from the group's legendary Monk’s Playground, the ambituous show from the 20-teens that reimagined the music of Thelonious Monk using elements of funk, Eastern, odd-meter, New Orleans, and flamenco.

For this quintet performance, Vasi is joined by saxophonist Chris Sclafani (Afro-Zen Allstars, Say Less Brass Band, Soul Providers), trombonist Pete Anderson (Kadencia, Randazzo Big Band, Fatback), bassist Bob Bowen (Royce Campbell, Hod O’Brien), and drummer Forrest Young (the Emergency Drummer, Dane Alderson, Chris Whiteman) for an evening of fun and soulful jazz with some original tunes and a few surprises!
