The Mario Wellmann & Alexa Torres Quartet - Jazz at the Highball

The Mario Wellmann & Alexa Torres Quartet plays one last show at the Highball. The sound of Mario's guitar has been lauded as masterful, captivating, and complex. He has toured South America, the US, and Europe and has been a featured guitarist for contemporary jazz greats such as Kurt Elling, Sinne Eeg, and Allison Wedding.

Alexa Torres is a Latinx jazz violinist, composer, and ethnographic researcher based in Austin, TX and New York City. Musically, she seeks to cultivate improvisational and compositional styles which are both historically and personally grounded, prioritizing contemplative melodies, rich harmonic textures, and atypical forms. Torres’s 2024 debut album In Situ has been played across international airwaves like NPR and featured in prestigious media outlets like Strings Magazine and All About Jazz.

Together with violin, bass, and drums, Mario will enchant the room with memorable and pleasing renditions once more in Austin before venturing to New York City - so grab a cocktail and sit on our club floor before this act leaves the stage.
