November Jazz 2025: Ensemble Jazz UPV + Alida McKeon

Alida is a new voice that evokes the soft warmth of mid-20th century jazz singers, while his lyrics adopt a contemporary approach, as it addresses issues such as mental health, social justice and modern love. NPR's Jazz Night in America program describes his style as "a wave that envelops the listener in deeply personal lyrics". This lyrical sensibility, combined with his exceptional voice and carefully crafted arrangements, offers an experience that connects directly with the audience's most intimate nostalgia.
