CURRENT PROJECTS AND GIGS:
Planet Loop: Electro-funk-jazz With just two musicians wielding a full-band sized arsenal of acoustic drums, electric 7-string guitar/bass, pedals, pads and samples, PLANET LOOP is a unique trip not to be missed. Hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, the duo forges their unique brand of “electro-funk jazz,” combining wild improvisation with the deep rhythms of worldbeat, Latin, funk, and trance music. Frequently a third performer ranging from sax to piano to guitar to DJ shares the stage as well as part of the rotating “PLANET LOOP TRIO.” Mucho Axe; Salsa/world Mucho Axe is a unique blend of Latin American Folk, Tropicalia, Cha-Cha-Cha, Latin Blues, Psychedelic Rock, Cuban Son, Reggae en Español, and Latin Jazz. Equally from Oakland, CA and Buenos Aires, Argentina, the band is co-led by Pepa Quiroga and Edgar Macchiavello. The line up involves anything from duo to seven- piece band, but always includes large amounts of enthusiasm and contagious grooves to make you dance. Terrence Brewer: Contemporary jazz San Francisco Bay area-based Jazz Guitarist Terrence Brewer is the winner of the "SF Weekly Music Award" for "Best Jazz Artist", winner of the Oakland Chamber of Commerce "Artist of the Year" award, and winner of the 'Bay area Blues Society' "Best Jazz Group." Philip Van Vleck, writing for Billboard Magazine, states “(Brewer’s) guitar work is fluent, and his feel for the groove is unerring...” Bill Milkowski, writing for JazzTimes proclaims, "(Brewer is) A melodic improviser with an exquisite tone and an abundance of soul..." Carrie Jahde Duo: Contemporary drums and piano duo The Carrie Jahde Duo is an innovative duo format comprised of Carrie Jahde (drums) and a rotating cast of some of the top Bay Area pianists. They take on original compositions, jazz standards, pop tunes, and even country tunes and twist them in new ways with blues, funk, and New Orleans feels. Their approach is highly improvisational, playful, and communicative. |
