Marta Sánchez Quartet
Zinc Bar82 West 3rd Street, New York 10012
Zinc Bar bills the Marta Sánchez Quartet for this Manhattan date. The bill identifies a quartet with no individual performers named and no further detail about the set, guests, a release, tribute, residency, or late performance. The music is presented on the Zinc Bar stage in a room with a close-up stage, where lounge-style seating is intended for close, attentive listening, with the stage and vintage bar at the heart of the layout, at close range.
The available material offers no biographical information about Marta Sánchez or the other musicians in the quartet, so this billing does not establish their origin, history, collaborators, or critical reception. As a setting for the night, Zinc Bar combines Art Deco details including velvet upholstery and polished brass with a Parisian zinc bar. The venue says its programming ranges from jazz to Brazilian and African rhythms, and notes a history of appearances by Billie Holiday and Thelonious Monk.
