About the Artists

Hannah Mayer is a pianist and composer from the San Francisco Bay Area, and a recent graduate of Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore. Hannah has performed around the country and has been a member of national ensembles through Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, and SFJAZZ. Hannah takes a lot of inspiration from theatre, and recently released an album of improvisational impressions on the music of Stephen Sondheim (“Hannah Mayer & Friends Play Sondheim” – out on all streaming platforms!). Hannah also has a love for Brazilian music, and this performance will be a set of Brazilian Popular Music favorites (MPB) featuring Nico Wohl on guitar, Steve Arnold on bass, and Mike Kuhl on drums.

Nico Wohl is a guitarist and composer from Great Barrington, Massachusetts. He was a member of Carnegie Hall’s NYO Jazz and toured Europe with Dianne Reeves in 2018 and China with Kurt Elling in 2019. He is also a 2019 Youngarts finalist in jazz. Since 2019, he has attended the Peabody Conservatory, where he studies with guitarist Matthew Stevens. He is mainly influenced by jazz but takes cues from Brazilian and classical music, among other styles.

Vector Field is a modern jazz project that brings contemporary musical influences into the context of the post-bop lineage. The music delves into complex emotional spaces while remaining firmly rooted in the pocket of the jazz tradition, and explores the role of improvisation and dance music within communities as a tool to challenge convention and share lived experiences through artistic engagement. Across the first three full-length releases, Vector Field has quickly established a shape-shifting modus operandi, constantly investigating varied instrumentations and conceptual frameworks for the storytelling of each album, with an increasingly diverse cast of collaborators orbiting core members Ethan Ditthardt, Alex Souris, and Pete Fucinaro.
