Thanks to everyone who came out to our concert at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley a few weeks ago. We had a great time performing there and have just posted a few videos from my Indo Latin jazz set on YouTube. More to come soon!

The Indo Latin Jazz Ensemble includes: Paul McCandless, 2-time Grammy Award nominee and woodwind virtuoso known through his work with the seminal chamber jazz groups Paul Winter Consort and Oregon; Matthew Montfort, Ancient Future bandleader and trailblazing pioneer of scalloped fretboard guitar (an instrument combining qualities of the South Indian vina and the steel string guitar); Kash Killion, first-call bass player and multi-instrumentalist with Sun Ra Arkestra, Cecil Taylor and others; Duru Demetrius, Latin percussionist with jazz icons such as Joe Henderson and Herbie Hancock; Debopriyo Bubai Sarkar, tabla virtuoso who has accompanied among others the late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan and Padmabhushan Pandit Jnan Prakash Ghosh, and whose recent tours include Kronos Quartet; and Brian Rice, exceptional percussionist with players such as Mike Marshall.

This is a rare opportunity to see the full ensemble perform together!

“Parker and friends blend the rhythmic syncopations of Latin jazz music with the entrancing, asymmetrical meters of East Indian rhythms resulting in first-class world music. " — LATIN BEAT MAGAZINE

“Dazzling debut.... Parker’s subtle and sensuous sounds reflect exotic flavors of India, the Middle East and Latin America.” — PALO ALTO DAILY NEWS
