Sasha Masakowski remembers being six years old, seated at the piano next to her father — the renowned jazz guitarist, Steve Masakowski.
“He’d play harmonies as background on the guitar, and he would encourage me to improvise,” Sasha recalls. “He’d tell me to play something using just the white keys or just the black keys, and I’d make up music.”
She says she was a little composer playing along with her dad in their New Orleans home.
“I love those memories,” she adds.
More than two decades later, Sasha, now 33, is an accomplished musician in her own right. She’s released five albums in her young career and was recently nominated as New Orleans’ best female vocalist.
Father and daughter still collaborate these days, though in a more official capacity. They play in the Masakowski Family Band, a group that includes Sasha’s brother, Martin — a virtuosic bassist. The trio has traveled and performed as far away as Europe, but the COVID pandemic means all current gigs are virtual.
