Alexis Lombre

Pianist and vocalist Alexis Lombre visits Madison as part of Cafe Coda's Night of the Improvisor series, accompanied by trio members Brooke Skye, bass, and Louis Jones III, drums. Lombre has been working on music for her second album, and the one song released so far, “Come Find Me,” is a teaser for exciting new musical directions. It was also announced in February that Lombre is one of the awardees in the first class of the Next Jazz Legacy program, a collaboration by New Music USA and the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, during which she will apprentice with multi-instrumentalist and composer Marcus Miller.

Night of the Improvisor. $20.

press release: Alexis Lombre is a young artist who discovered early that the true essence of music is not just about what you hear but how music makes you feel. Her musical mission is to keep the ‘Soul’ in music alive. The 2017 release of her debut album, Southside Sounds, does just that, as it is a soulful reflection of her upbringing on Chicago’s Southside. In the May 2019, Lombre toured the Midwest with her group, the Alexis Lombre Trio, and in January 2019 she toured South Africa with Englewood-Soweto Exchange that was powered by a MacArthur grant led by Ernest Dawkins.
