Mai Sugimoto – saxophone, flute, toys
Mabel Kwan – piano Duo Performance: Mai Sugimoto (saxophone) and Mabel Kwan (piano) will improvise as a duo for this performance.
Mai Sugimoto is a saxophonist, composer, and active member of Chicago’s jazz and improvisational music scene. Sugimoto draws inspiration from her upbringing in Japan and her roots in jazz to compose and perform from her unique multicultural experience. Born/Raised, her debut album (Asian Improv Records, 2018), explores this cultural and musical binary, juxtaposing, among others, a jazz rendition of a Japanese children’s song alongside compositions inspired by the American jazz idiom. Mai has performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival in 2015 with Hanami, in 2019 and 2022 as a leader, and in 2018 and 2022 with renowned bassist Tatsu Aoki, with whom she frequently plays, including appearances in his Fred Anderson Legacy Band. Her first solo album, monologue (Asian Improv Records) was released in March of 2021.
Pianist Mabel Kwan is fascinated by sounds, contradictions, and our perception of what is familiar or strange. She is a founding member of Ensemble Dal Niente, Restroy, Mega Laverne and Shirley, Fifth Season, and Honestly Same. A native of Austin, Texas, her interest in art and music began at an early age when she started accompanying her father on lieder, arias, and Chinese folk songs. Mabel is a 2017 3 Arts Awardee, 2018 High Concept Labs Artist, and 2020 City of Chicago Esteemed Artist.
