The Roosevelt Island Daily News
We are delighted to bring back to RIVAA, the South American Jazz Project with Julio, Andrew Baird,(gtr) Eduardo Withrington (keys) and Tiago Michelin (drums). An innovative and exceptionally talented synthesis of South American melodic influences, rhythms from Brazil and the Southern Cone, underpinned by solid jazz roots and traditions, the ensemble features the outstanding talent of four highly respected and acclaimed musicians. This is an amazing opportunity to experience the unique sound of this amazing collaboration.
Neha! Multi instrumentalist and Vocalist with Andrew Baird
A gifted singer, composer & pianist, Neha’s style can be characterized as a smorgasbord of musical personalities. She cites influences such as Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Otis Redding, Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke, Dinah Washington, and Carmen MacRae, to name a few. While definitely rooted in jazz, elements of folk, blues, pop and her mother’s classical Indian musical background also permeate. Her arrangements are thoughtful and complex, and her sumptuous powerhouse of a voice will leave you awed!

The Well-Funded Vision and the Silent Landlord
RIOC’s Real Estate Development Advisory Committee met last night. The Renwick Ruin was not on the agenda. A nonprofit that has spent eight years developing detailed plans for the site, raised more than a million dollars, and assembled a board with serious finance and legal credentials continues its work.
