Mariel Bildsten Septet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Mariel Bildsten Septet

Mariel Bildsten Septet is a New York City–based jazz group led by trombonist Mariel Bildsten, heard in repertoire that moves between bebop lines and more open, songlike writing. The ensemble appears at NYC rooms including Dizzy’s Club, where Bildsten has brought projects such as “Bangers and Ballads.” Bildsten’s résumé includes work alongside Jon Batiste, Roy Hargrove, Jennifer Hudson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and the Mingus Big Band. The septet’s performances favor quick, conversational interplay over spectacle.
