The summer Athenaeum jazz series continues with the Amina Figarova Sextet, featuring Figarova on piano, Bart Platteau on flutes, Alex Pope Norris on trumpet, Wayne Escoffery on tenor sax, Alex Claffy on bass, and Brian Richburg Jr. on drums. Figarova began her musical career as a classical pianist trained at the Baku Conservatory in her native Azerbaijan. After immigrating to the Netherlands she turned to the study of jazz at the Rotterdam Conservatory and the Berklee College of Music in Boston, moving her home to New York City in 2011. Her sextet made its last Athenaeum visit in 2014.
