“vital new music” -

Donald Elfman, New York City Jazz Record

Featuring drummer Rodrigo Racabarren (Chile), saxophonist Kyle Nasser (U.S.), bassist Pablo Menares (Chile) and pianist Yago Vazquez (Spain), Beekman has become a staple of the vibrant NYC jazz scene. The quartet, formed shortly after these musicians met in 2012 at the 5th Estate sessions in Brooklyn, couples eclectic original compositions (steeped in jazz, rock, Latin, and classical) with dynamic group interplay into a sound that is international while remaining squarely in the realm of modern jazz. With members from three diferent continents, Beekman brings a plethora of influences to bear on its compositional and improvisational aesthetics.

In October 2016, Beekman released its sophomore effort, Vol. 02, on Ropeadope Records. Having had the opportunity to play a great deal since the release of Vol.1, the quartet really sharpens its aesthetic on Vol.2. "Vol. 02 is excellent from start to finish, merging the abstract with the emotional in a distinct and engaging manner" (Budd Kopman, All About Jazz). "Beekman retains a nice tuneful quality even as it produces one sharp edge after the other...delightful lyricism" (Dave Sumner, Bird is the Worm). In support of the new release, Beekman will tour New England in early December, South America in January, and the West Coast in late April.
