...ensembleMusic......ensembleMusic...

mahaloJazz is a flexible musical group offering not-so-straight-ahead ensemble music - jazz, bopHop! and otherwise.  Our jazz, whether we're smokin' or driftin', is inspired by the likes of songsters George Gershwin and Cole Porter and innovators Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk.  We can also present this music in our unique bopHop! fashion (dance-til-you-drop bebop and more). Otherwise includes music outside and in between, including R&B, reggae, pop, bossa, and our completely spontaneous conversations. We have huge fun playing it all...

music for chillin' • swingin' • dancin' •  groovin' • makin' you happy

music for in-the-corner background • in-your-face foreground • small gatherings •  blow-out-once-in-a-lifetime parties

all offered in a wide variety of configurations (quartet or more, trio, duo, solo) for  any occasion, depending on your needs and budget

The Invite

mahaloJazz in the house!

• saxophonist Rochelle Frederick is coming from FL to check out the NC scene
• Durham’s Noah Powell returns to performing, channeling the likes of Jon Hendricks and Eddie Jefferson
• And, pinch me now, masters of their crafts, bassist Robbie Link and percussionist Beverly Botsford are coming for the fun

and yes, it’s a school night, but we promise it will be a wonderful way to end this week and bring in the next one

Pass the word and please come join us!

Jazz guitarists and pianists often have a hate/love relationship. Inspired by the likes of Bill Frisell and Fred Hersch, Pete and Alison are working hard to transcend such ambiguousness. We live for the Moments when melody, harmony and rhythm are in balance within the space and the conversation is thrilling. In between the outbursts of laughter, there are a few here!

Alison and Kyle shared a delightful afternoon in a room they each and together spent a great deal of time in musical study at FAU. There is really nothing like being able to have satisfying spontaneous musical conversation, and these tracks serve as our reminder.
mahalo...
(as in "ma" like in ma and pa
"ha" rhymes with ma,
"lo" as in how low can you go)

means more than
thank you in Hawaiian;
it is an expression
of deep gratitude.
It is this spirit that serves as
the foundation for
mahaloArts.
We are inspired to embrace
with profound gratitude
our music, our art,
our livelihood,
our lives.

Our mission is to
facilitate, develop
and present
artistic endeavors of
positive, constructive,
and engaging manner
that underscore gratefulness
of being alive.
