Simón Willson is a New York City based composer, bassist, and improviser originally hailing from Chile. As an eclectic and in demand sideman, he has toured with a host of different artists in Europe, the US, Canada, and South America. His wide-range interest in different realms of Jazz and improvised music has led him to work with a diverse pool of established artists such as Dave Douglas, Ethan Iverson, Steve Cardenas, George Garzone, Jason Palmer, Rodney Green, Michael Blake, Pablo Held, Jim Black, Tim Miller, Frank Carlberg, among many others. He also plays in bands of contemporaries such as Kevin Sun, Max Light (second place in the Herbie Hancock 2019 guitar competition), among others. In addition to his sideman work, he co-leads the bands Great on Paper, Family Plan, and Earprint. The latter won the “best debut album” category of the NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll in 2016, and Family Plan is set to release their debut album in September 2021, due to receiving a generous grant from the Chilean government. Willson can be heard on over twenty-five records for labels such as Tzadik, Steeplechase, Newvelle, Endectomorph, in addition to a number of self-releases. He has recently been featured in albums as a member of Dave Douglas’ Sextet, Elan Mehler’s "TJ & the Revenge'' project alongside GRAMMY award-winning guitar player Bill Frisell, and a double record entitled “Live at Wally’s” with famed trumpet player Jason Palmer as part of his quintet.
Vicente Hansen Atria (b. 1992, Santiago, Chile) is a New York-based composer and drummer. His music riffs on a wide range of idioms, from renaissance dances to Korean sanjo, creating lucid, futuristic sonic worlds.
