Both originally from Australia and Indonesia and now based in New York City in pursuit of a postgraduate degree at New York University, Nic Vardanega and Francesca Prihasti are emerging voices on the international jazz scene. They have studied with the likes of Peter Bernstein, Adam Rogers, Wayne Krantz, Alan Broadbent, Kevin Hays, Ari Hoenig, Drew Gress, and Mike Rodriguez, Nic and Francesca have also recorded together alongside drummers Ulysses Owens Jr and Rodney Green as well as bassists Orlando Le Fleming and Marco Panascia. With each being an established composer in their own right, their music draws from a wealth of original material in addition to a deep knowledge of the jazz tradition, which they render with fresh modern interpretations. They will both make their debut at Club Bonafide, presenting compositions from their recorded releases as well as some more recently composed material.
