    About This Event

    Led by bassist and composer Marcos Varela, the Marcos Varela Quartet presents music that balances written structures with open space, moving between composed themes and elastic improvisation with the bass serving as both anchor and conversational lead. In The Django’s close-listening room the quartet emphasizes time, tone and group interplay, favoring clarity over display.
