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. His Monk’s Playground project reimagined 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 Barry Bless and performing for all kinds of events, and serving as a guitar instructor for private lessons.
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 Aaron Binder (Mike Rosensky/Jeff Decker, Roger Carroll) for an evening of fun and soulful jazz.
Opening the show are The Velvet Devils, a duo with Chris Vasi on acoustic guitar, featuring the fabulous vocalist JB Jeter (iLLbillys), playing a smorgasbord of unexpected pop, jazz, and rock tunes with fun new arrangements.
