Subscribe to get event updates from FREE Lunchtime Concert: Edda Glass & Max Hatt
Edda Glass and guitarist Max Hatt bring their unique sound to jazz and bossa nova, moving effortlessly between original songs, classic repertoire like "The Girl from Ipanema," and the occasional prairie-jazz reinvention of pieces like “Wichita Lineman.” As heard on NPR and PBS.
Edda Glass and her long-time collaborator Max Hatt have “forged a unique sound," says NPR's Larry Groce. Their alternative musical universe stretches effortlessly from award-winning original material to reinventions ranging from “Wichita Lineman” to “Girl from Ipanema” to “Take Five.” Edda’s unmistakable voice and evocative lyrics draw audiences into the immersive textures of Max’s guitar and compositions, creating a cinematic soundscape that resonates like folk, harmonizes like jazz, and grooves like bossa nova. Ann Powers of NPR Music tags it “Beautiful… #chills” while Nels Cline (Blue Note, Wilco) finds it “subtly poignant, elegantly funky, and haunting without trying to be.” As presented by NPR, PBS, NYC's Lincoln Center, and DC's Kennedy Center.
