SHEROES, brought together by pianist, composer, arranger, educator and author Monika Herzig, features an international cast of virtuous players—all women, all first-class talents. As an ensemble of empowerment, Sheroes is a musical force, operating with deftness, invention, enthusiasm and ambition. Sheroes not only heralds an era of greater and deeper consideration for women in jazz but as Jazz Journalist Association President Howard Mandel affirms in his liner notes, “That’s exactly what Monika and company does: Presents a model of empowerment with results that are good for everyone. Wherever you are on the gender continuum, you’ll like it. SHEROES make music!” Herzig’s journey with the bandleaders began with the need for role models and peer support in order to encourage more female participation in the jazz art form to get their musical voices heard. In addition to the keyboards of Herzig, the collective includes an international cast of virtuosi players: Jamie Baum (flute, United States); Reut Regev (trombone, Israel); Jennifer Vincent (bass, United States); and Rosa Avila (drums, Mexico).

Jasper Wood plays with a firm, rich tone and he’s excellently balanced against David Riley’s sparkling piano accompaniments.” ~DAVID HURWITZ, CLASSICS TODAY “
This trio of artists has been making music together for two-and-a-half decades. Their CD Stradivarius Christmas was acclaimed by audiences and critics upon its release in 2012. The talented violinist and pianist have half a dozen CDs as a duo, covering major works by Stravinsky, Bartók, Ives and others. In 2004, they garnered a Best Classical Recording award from East Coast Music. Returning to SonoKlect after a seven-year absence, Wood and Riley are preparing to enter the recording studio to create a disc of Vosbein’s compositions. Canadian violinist Jasper Wood has established a flourishing reputation as a soloist through his frequent performances with many of North America’s finest orchestras and as a recitalist and chamber musician. The New York Concert Review raved about pianist David Riley’s “absolutely exquisite technique.” Vosbein has been composing for the pair since their student days at the Cleveland Institute of Music 25 years ago.
