As a composer, pianist and bandleader Mariah Parker’s work crosses cultural boundaries, blending the infectious rhythms of Latin jazz, the uplifting spirit of Eastern music and the soul of flamenco. Her recordings of original music have enjoyed prominence on multiple radio charts including the National Jazzweek Airplay and Roots Report Music charts, and have been celebrated globally for their innovative soundscapes and compositional brilliance. While her Indo Latin Jazz Ensemble concerts have sold out at venues such as Yoshi’s, Bach Dancing & Dynamite, and Marin Jazz, this is a unique opportunity to experience an uplifting sonic journey in an intimate setting.
