Paola Ancona & Friends delivered a sophisticated and soulful set of classic tunes in English and Spanish, inspired by Sade, Esperanza Spalding, bolero, and Motown. Johnny J’s smooth bass, Bill Mead, and Ethan Reinbach’s Columbia-trained drumming created a dynamic backdrop. Paola’s collaborations with modern jazz greats like Debbie Duncan made for a well-rounded mix of old-school R&B jams, neo-soul, funk, and chillhop influences.
