Mariah Parker’s Indo Latin Jazz Ensemble

Mariah Parker’s Indo Latin Jazz Ensemble “fuses Latin rhythms with influences from South America and India with a dash of straight-up American jazz… an intoxicating blend of East and West performed by musicians of astounding virtuosity.

Like all the best jazz bands, this group is as disciplined as it is innovative, stopping on a dime when the composition calls for it and soaring into gorgeous landscapes of free association the next moment that are as pleasing as they are adventurous.” 
— Paul Liberatore, Marin Independent Journal

The concert features the talent of Mariah Parker, composer, pianist, santurist and band leader; Paul McCandless, Grammy Award-winning woodwind virtuoso and co-founder of the world fusion ensembles Oregon and Paul Winter Consort; Matthew Montfort, founder and leader of the world fusion ensemble Ancient Future and pioneer of the scalloped fretboard guitar; Kash Killion, bassist with the Sun Ra Arkestra, cellist and performer on African and Indian string instruments; and stellar global percussionist Ian Dogole.

The band will be performing new compositions for an upcoming project, along with music from the albums ’Sangria’ and ‘Indo Latin Jazz Live in Concert’ which reached #32 on the National Jazzweek Airplay chart.

They will be joined by a very special guest artist and adventuring into new musical terrain. You won’t want to miss this!
