Jazz at Sequoya: Marilyn Fisher and Paul Hastil
Join us for Saturday Jazz! This month, we welcome Marilyn Fisher and Paul Hastil.
Marilyn Fisher (vocals and percussion) and Paul Hastil (Fender Rhodes) have worked together for over twenty years in a variety of ensembles, but primarily as a duo. Both musicians have performed with many of the top jazz musicians in Wisconsin. Since the 1990s, Marilyn has had duos with Bob Westfall, Doug Brown, Jeff Larsen, and the late John Vitale, with whom she played weekly for six years at Liliana's. Other great area musicians she has played with include bassists Laurie Lang, John Christianson, and John Mesoloras. She was also the original vocalist with Ladies Must Swing (LMS) for over twenty five years.
Over the past twenty years, keyboardist/composer Paul has performed with many talented jazz musicians on the scene in the Madison area. These have included Doc DeHaven, Gerri DiMaggio, and Ray Rideout, as well as those players newer to the scene, including Paul Dietrich, Alison Margaret, Ben Ferris, and Tony Barber. For ten years he was a member of the New Breed Trio with bassist Nick Moran and drummer Michael Brenneis which hosted a weekly jam session at the Cardinal Bar and, more recently, at the North Street Cabaret. He is a regular participant in the Isthmus Jazz Festival and has performed at the Telluride Jazz Festival and the Montava Music Festival in Montava, Italy. He has also performed with Archie Shepp, Frank Morgan, Sheila Jordan, and David Binney.
Jazz at Sequoya features local musicians on the third Saturday of every month. The series is generously funded by the Friends of Sequoya Library.
