Mari Rosa and The Fantastics June 6, 2006

Mari Rosa is a maverick musician whose push to expand the jazz palette got her in trouble at an early age. In response to the idea that jazz is a music for and of the people, bandleader/composer Mari Rosa mixed her own brew of music, combining elements of Latin and Brazilian styles with American jazz to create music that will slink past even the most sophisticated social armor. The result will make your cheeks pink in a New York minute.
