Yoko Yates Quintet - Album Release Concert
2025-09-20 20:00 | Greenwich House Music School, 46 Barrow Street, New York, NY, 10014, United States
Eternal Moments Album Release Concert
Yoko Yates Quintet
TICKETS:
Adults: $25 (advanced)
Youth (under 18): $20 (advanced)
Day of: $30 (cash) at the door ($25 youth)
At this concert, you will hear pieces from the brand new album Eternal Moments.
The performers are: Jamie Baum (Flt./A.Flt.), Sam Sadigursky (Cl/B.Cl./A.Sax.), Aryeh Kobrinsky (Bs.), Jeff Hirshfield (Ds.) and Yoko Yates (Pf/Composition).

Yoko Yates is a Japanese born and NYC based pianist, composer and educator. She serves as a piano faculty member at GHMS and BKCM. Her acclaimed 2022 debut on SteepleChase LookOut, Mystic Life, introduced a composer with a direct line to a beguiling trove of childhood memories. Her second album, Eternal Moments, showcases the same superlative cast of players while Yoko continues her sensorial sojourn, celebrating the wonders of the natural world (Andrew Gilbert).
Press Quotes:
Pianist-composer Yoko Yates expands on her unique musical concept on her Eternal Moments, her stunning sophomore album, set for a September 19 release on Banka Records. Retaining the quintet from her 2022 debut Mystic Life, it also includes 10 original post-bop jazz compositions that explore Yates’s enmeshed fascinations with visual imagery, autobiography, and the natural world. Eternal Moments is thus a natural, entirely organic follow-up to the much-lauded Mystic Life. “My first album was dedicated to childhood memory. I wrote from experiences related to nature and the world,” Yates explains. “This one is a little similar, but inspired by more recent experiences or events. I try to express more emotional complexity and more phases of each event, exploring a little more deeply.” – Terre Hinte, All About Jazz
https://www.allaboutjazz.com/news/pianist-composer-yoko-yates-deepens-her-evocative-original-vision-with-eternal-moments-to-be-released-september-19-by-banka-records/
From the meditative wonder of “Outer Space – Myriad Stars!” to the elegant melancholy of “The Flower Before It’s Last Day,” Yates paints vivid emotional landscapes shaped by memories, nature, and personal reflection. “Winding River” and “Aster,” the album’s focus track, channel the quiet power and resilience found in the natural world, with expressive improvisation and rich acoustic textures. – Banka Records

Exhibition on view November 6 – December 19, 2025
The Jane Hartsook Gallery at Greenwich House Pottery is pleased to present Cosmic Artifacts by Donté K. Hayes. In this new body of work, Hayes examines objects not just as individual items, but as pieces within a larger narrative interconnected to the greater African Diaspora. Born out of the desire to create the heirlooms that are missing, lost, and erased from his own cultural and family lineage, Hayes creates sculptures that function as “future artifacts” that remix ancestral traditions, respond to contemporary realities, and envision resilient futures.
Influenced by hip-hop culture and science fiction, Hayes uses clay as both material and metaphor, building forms that are inscribed with thousands of etched lines made by a needle tool. These marks accumulate into patterns that echo hair, raffia, scars, and inscriptions. The repetitive textures and incised patterns become meditations on memory, ritual, and renewal. The unglazed ceramic surfaces are an unobstructed record of his mark-making, a way for him to imbue each sculpture with his own presence and memories using a material capable of spanning generations. These “cosmic artifacts” serve as conduits for reflection and transformation, transporting the viewer to a quieter frame of mind where they can slow down and take a deeper look at the world around them.
