About the Artist

Arcoiris Sandoval began her Sonic Asylum project in 2016 performing for the Milt Hinton jazz festival held at Baruch College in Manhattan. It was an all star quintet featuring Jaleel Shaw on alto sax, Mark Turner on tenor sax, Nate Smith on drums and Mimi Jones on bass performing her original music. Since then, Sonic Asylum has performed at the Kennedy Center, Vermont Jazz Festival, and regularly around NYC as a trio, quartet and quintet. She has held a Sonic Asylum trio residency with Marty Kenney on bass and Kenneth Salters on drums at Zinc Bar since 2022. Her debut trio album First Voyage featuring Marty Kenney on bass and Allan Mednard on drums won a Global Music Award in 2018 and her Sonic Asylum quintet recently received a Chamber Music America Performance Plus grant in 2021 to work with Billy Childs. Her original composition "Journey to Agartha" is now published in Terri Lyne Carrington's compilation called "New Standards, 101 Lead Sheets by Women Composers". Her trio was recently a featured artist at NY Winter Jazzfest for 2024.
