The Church is thrilled to welcome Michael Blake’s Chroma Nova 5, for an evening of paradoxical yet seamless jazz. With a sinuous blend of Brazilian rhythms and modern jazz, the quintet is said to “bring to mind palm trees growing out of frozen tundra.”  Join us as Hamptons Jazz Fest returns to The Church with one more great concert.

In the span of four decades the New York City musical force known as Michael Blake has contributed an impressive body of work to contemporary jazz. This has led to widespread critical acclaim and an identifiable refined sound, that embraces sonic multidimensionality. Dance of the Mystic Bliss, the debut album of Chroma Nova 5, landed on The Guardian’s Album of the Month in June 2023. 

Comprised of Michael Blake (tenor and soprano saxophone, flute), Sky Steele (Violin), Gili Lopes (Bassist), Guilherme Monteiro (Guitar), and Rogerio Boccato (Percussion), Michael Blake’s Chroma Nova 5 takes listeners on a boundary-breaking musical journey that showcases both composition and improvisation.
