Miami, Oct. 30, 2024 – Miami Dade College’s (MDC) Arts and Philosophy Department continues its popular jazz series, Jazz at Wolfson Presents, with vocalist Sachal Vasandani at noon, Wednesday, Nov. 6, at MDC Wolfson Campus. This and all Jazz at Wolfson Presents concerts are free and open to the public.
Vasandani is recognized for his singular voice, with a tone and unique phrasing that distinguishes him as one of the most compelling artists on the scene today. Thoroughly rooted in jazz, Vasandani has the presence to front the most swinging big bands and the vulnerability to present definitive takes of classic ballads. His deeply creative approach to improvisation across lyrics, melodic changes and time signatures is always soulful, and he has come to be regarded as one of the eminent vocal improvisers of his generation.
Vasandani has performed at all major festivals, theaters and clubs across the world. He performs with artists from various styles and sung alongside top musicians such as Wynton Marsalis, Bobby McFerrin, Milton Nascimento, Bill Charlap, Natalia LaFourcade and Michael Feinstein. He is also an in-demand lyricist and composer who has collaborated with artists across genres. His singing and writing were featured on Gerald Clayton’s Grammy-nominated album, Life Forum (2013).
A preeminent educator, Vasandani bridges a strong technical foundation and disciplined, immersive jazz study with a fundamentally open spirit. Through his workshops, classes and lessons at multiple institutions around the globe, he has honed a style of teaching that is as encouraging as it is thorough.
