About
Wendy and Jim
Wendy
Pedersen and Jim Gasior have been enduring personalities in the South Florida
music scene, each widely known for their passionate commitment to a notable
breadth of musical projects, both live and in the studio.
Collectively,
they have performed and/or recorded with Ricky Martin, Kelly Clarkson,
Christina Aguilera, Alejandro Sanz, Jennifer Lopez, Shakira, Ariana Grande,
Michael Bolton, Natalie Cole, Patti Austin, Smokey Robinson, James Brown,
Little Richard, Arturo Sandoval, Benny Golson, Freddie Hubbard, Robin Eubanks,
and countless others. As a duo they
are dedicated to a deep respect for the Great American Songbook - with fresh
arrangements and performances filled with freedom and joy. Their first
recording, We Two, was released in March of 2016.
The songs for
We Two were selected for their enduring significance and the creative
malleability that they offer. The listener will at once sense their heartfelt
appreciation for these well-loved standards. In addition, their partnership
embodies all of the spontaneity, intimate communication and fun of a jazz
performance. The
playfulness of “It Ain’t Necessarily So”, the gospel-tinged “Oh, What a
Beautiful Morning”, the lonely heartbreak of “Round Midnight”, and the clever
spin on “My Favorite Things” in 11/8 meter are just a few of the personal and
emotive interpretations by the duo.
The South Miami-Dade Cultural
Arts Center is managed by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs,
with funding support from the Office of the Miami-Dade County Mayor and Board
of County Commissioners. The Center is dedicated to presenting and
supporting arts and culture and providing access to the arts to the entire
Miami-Dade County community.
