—SON ROMPE PERA—Born and raised in Naucalpan, the deep outskirts of Mexico City, the Gama brothers and their band Son Rompe Pera have thrashed through all preconceived notions of what a marimba-centered band is, and have rendered the instrument inseparable from their punk ethos. Their shows have become home to the now-infamous marimba mosh pit across the globe, joining intergenerational audiences in moments of essential release and community around their hard-hitting, forward-thinking, unrelenting punk-infused cumbias. With two critically-acclaimed records under their belt, and hundreds of shows on some of the world’s most prestigious stages to a rapidly growing audience, the band consistently proves their boundlessness as far as where they can take the genre, standing vehemently by the fact that traditions are meant to be both honored, broken, and built again.

($20-$30 + taxes & fees | 6:30pm Show) NYC based drummer Brandon Sanders returns to the Century Room to celebrate the release of his new album “The Tables WIll Turn.” His sophomore recording for Savant pays homage to the influence and memory of his grandmother, Ernestine Parker, in the the album’s first track, “Miss Ernestine.” With his understated, whispery light touch on the drums, Sanders breathes fresh life into favorites, such as Parker’s “Moose the Mooche” and Monk’s “Four in One.” He will also perform selections from his first album, “Compton’s Finest” which chronicals his time growing up in the LA neighborhood.

Sanders moved to New York in 2004 where he has built a career as a social worker, but has also played with many of jazz greats including Joe Lovano, Jeremy Pelt, Esperanza Spalding, Walter Smith III and Warren Wolf. Sanders got a late start on the drums, picking them up at age 25, but now after three decades of drumming he has two albums as a leader under his belt. “It’s about trying to lift people’s spirits,” Sanders says. “That’s what I try to do as a social worker. It’s about making sure that people leave feeling different than when they came in.”

($30-$40 tickets + taxes & fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) Sasha Berliner, a San Francisco-born musician, composer, producer, and band leader, began her musical journey as a rock drummer before discovering her passion for the vibraphone at Oakland School for the Arts. She moved to NYC in 2016 to study under Stefon Harris at The New School, a mentorship that profoundly shaped her artistic voice.

Sasha debuted on the NYC jazz scene at Winter Jazz Fest 2018, later performing at major festivals like Atlanta Jazz Fest. In 2019, she became the first U.S. recipient of the LetterOne “Rising Stars” Jazz Award, touring North America and releasing her acclaimed debut album Azalea, blending jazz, alternative, and political themes. Her groundbreaking work earned a nomination for JazzTimes’ “Best New Release.”

Named the youngest and first female winner of Downbeat’s Critics’ Poll for “Rising Star – Vibraphone” in 2020, Sasha has headlined global venues like Newport Jazz Festival and collaborated with artists such as Tyshawn Sorey and Cecile McLorin Salvant. Her second album, Onyx (2022), praised for its bold, analog-recorded compositions, topped multiple jazz charts. Currently a UC Irvine professor, Sasha continues to innovate with her upcoming album, Fantome (2025), solidifying her as a leading voice in contemporary jazz.

($20-$30 + taxes & fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) Grammy Nominated Pianist, Max Haymer, makes his Century Room debut bringing his esteemed trio, joined by Aidan Carroll on bass, and Rick Montalbano on Drums. Specializing in re-imagined Broadway and Jazz Standards, as well as Afro-Cuban Jazz, Haymer promises to deliver a memorable show filled with power, emotion, drama, and fire!

Since 2015, Max Haymer has been touring and performing extensively with Grammy Award Winner and trumpet legend, Arturo Sandoval, playing at such places as the Blue Note NYC/Tokyo/Beijing, Newport Jazz Festival, Vancouver Jazz Festival, Teatro Opera de Buenos Aires, Sala Sao Paolo, Focsani Blues Fest, Gazarte Athens, Detroit Jazz Festival, Ronnie Scott’s, Jazz Alley, Blues Alley, Yoshi’s Oakland, and Disney Hall.
