Jazz Nights presents: Jacob Wick Quartet
Jazz Nights is a program with more than 20 years of experience dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of jazz in Mexico City. Throughout this time, it has established itself as a platform that offers musical experiences for audiences interested in contemporary art and music.
In July, Jacob Wick Quartet arrives at the museum, a group dedicated to Jacob Wick's original music, which is based on a concept of time queer, a conception that goes beyond linear experience to propose a less predictable, more emotional one: as if on the route from point A to point B we had lost ourselves for a while, perhaps a few years, to eventually find ourselves at point C.
Along with Wick, the quartet is made up of Gibrán Andrade, Alonso López-Valdés and Federico Sánchez, outstanding musicians who have their own projects. The quartet's first album, Sometimes I look in the mirror and think of you, was published by Ropeadope Sur in March 2025 and was highlighted by the publication The New York City Jazz Record. The quartet performs original music in addition to versions of jazz standards.
Jacob Wick is an improviser, composer, writer and artist. His work is based on sentiments and politics queer. As an improviser and composer, he has offered concerts of his own music and otres in various spaces such as the MUAC, the Whitney Museum in New York, the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, the Bimhuis in Amsterdam and the Moers festival in Germany. He has played with Matana Roberts, Claire Rousay, Gerald Cleaver, Mabe Fratti and Andrew D'Angelo, among others. Your recording Something in Your Eyes was chosen as “Best Experimental Music in 2024" by Marc Masters from Bandcamp.
Wick studied with Jon Faddis at the Conservatory of Purchase College, State University of New York. He was twice invited to the Banff International Workshop in Jazz & Creative Music, where he studied with Dave Douglas, Vijay Iyer, Han Bennink, Jason Moran and others. He holds an MFA from the California College of Fine Arts.
