This unique ensemble led by Alexander Wu, Yamaha Piano Artist and members Francisco Roldan (guitar), Hilliard Greene (double bass), and Danny Mallon (percussion), zigzags through countries, time periods, dance styles and musical genres --from flamenco to jazz to works written just for them -- with originality, fine musicianship and a mix of solos, duos and trios that showcases the artistry of each instrumentalist. The ZigZag Quartet made its Lincoln Center debut in the new David Rubenstein Atrium in December 2009, receiving accolades for its attractive acoustic blend, versatility, and visually entertaining performance. They were also engaged to perform a series of six concerts with dancers as part of the “Meet the Artists” series of Lincoln Center's public school educational outreach program. The group's self-titled CD was launched this past summer at the Mannes College Auditorium and at Bargemusic’s “Jazz and More” series.
