Jazz Mafia Retrospective: 26 Years

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

The Sound Room

Led by Jazz Mafia co-founders Adam Theis and Eric Garland, this special concert celebrates 26 years of the collective’s futuristic jazz roots. The program revisits the music that shaped Jazz Mafia’s identity in its earliest days, drawing from the first five years of the project’s evolution from 2000 to 2005. Featuring material connected to early projects such as Realistic Orchestra, Shotgun Wedding Quintet, and other formative ensembles, the performance reconnects with the sounds that helped define the collective’s foundation. Expect adventurous compositions, layered grooves, and inventive improvisation, with surprise guests appearing from across the Jazz Mafia musical family. Mike Olmos - trumpet; Dan White - alto/bari saxes; Tommy Occhiuto - tenor sax; Adam Theis - trombone; Colin Hogan - keys; Sam Bevan - upright bass; Eric Garland - drums; W/ special guest Dublin - vocals
