About this Event
This five-piece powerhouse crew features conservatory trained Classical and Jazz musicians who find a common language in their passion for the music that is found in-between the lines. The unique instrumentation of cello, viola, violin, trombone, bass, vocals and percussion provides the perfect vehicle to explore the edges of the perceived musical universe.
Their union yields a provocative, precise, punk-rock personality and a highly distinguished multi-style sound which spans centuries and genres. In any given set you’ll hear diverse influences from around the world: funk, folk, hip-hop, western chamber music, jazz, and most certainly at least one 80’s rock ballad because an evening wouldn’t be complete without one!
Twenty six years in the making, Jazz Mafia is a prolific staple of the quintessential San Francisco sound, uniting creative and accomplished Bay Area instrumentalists, vocalists, MCs, composers, and arrangers.
Join us for the unveiling of thier newest configuration: Jazz Mafia Strings!
