Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Violinist & Composer Alexa Torres .. We get into her new album “In situ” and her life in music. The title of this new album is an archaeological term which refers to the original position of an artifact found in place. When she was 21, she spent five weeks excavating Maya ruins in the Belizean jungle. Essentially, she is a performer, band leader, and ethnographic music researcher based in New York City and Austin, Texas. Musically, she seeks to cultivate improvisational and compositional styles which are both historically and personally rooted, embodying a dialogue between tradition and innovation in modern improvised music. It’s quite a story. Enjoy….
