The Fernando Huergo Quintet at ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn

Argentinian Boston-based bassist and composer Fernando Huergo and his quintet will perform at ShapeShifter Lab in Brooklyn, New York City on Monday, August 5th at 9:30pm. The quintet features Yulia Musayelyan on flute, Rick DiMuzio on tenor saxophone, Leo Genovese on piano, Franco pinna on drums and Huergo on bass. The quintet will be playing selections from Huergo's last few albums, Provinciano and Suite in Blue and White, as well as new compositions.

Last week, Huergo rereleased a newly mixed and mastered version of his successful Provinciano album, originally released by Sunnyside Records in 2008.

ShapeShifter Lab is a 4,200 square foot performance space located at 18 Whitwell Place in Park Slope, Brooklyn; this newly renovated performance space hosts the world's most innovative artists who are looking for a flexible platform to present their work. Bass player Matthew Garrison, son of Jimmy Garrison (bass player for John Coltrane), is the co-owner and creative director with his business partner, Fortuna Sung. With many years as a successful touring musician under his belt, Garrison and his team have designed the space with versatility in sound, lighting and layout, each of which can be tailored to each artist. With state-of-the-art equipment and raw space, Matt and his team are creating something truly unique and desperately needed in today's venue scene in New York City.
