The esteemed Arts Wayland Berklee Faculty Jazz Series, under the Direction of Neil Olmstead, Berklee College Professor, continues with the MATT JENSON’s MIX UP MIX UP
Pianist/keyboardist, singer, composer, arranger Matt Jenson lights up the connection between roots-reggae, Afro-Cuban sounds and soul-jazz with his Mix Up Mix Up band.
The group presents original compositions and creative re-workings of pop, jazz, reggae and Afro Cuban songs by Bob Marley, Duke Ellington, Thelonius Monk, Marvin Gaye, George Gershwin, Eddie Palmieri, Buena Vista Social Club and more.
The pure joy communicated between band members combined with their love of and deep experience with these styles results in a unique stylistic mash-up that immediately delights audiences of all ages. Imagine the creative interplay between musicians along with soul-jazz improvisation embedded in the intoxicating Afro-Cuban sounds of Jamaican reggae in an acoustic/electric jazz setting! It is indeed a groundbreaking format, sophisticated and soulful, with both instrumental and vocal repertoire, that gives nourishment to the mind, body and soul.
The band:
- Santanio Jackson: drums
- Winston Maccow: bass, vocals
- Manolo Mairena: percussion, vocals
- Matt Jenson: piano, vocals
