Led by Jazz Mafia co-founders Adam Theis and Eric Garland, this special concert celebrates more than twenty five 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.

Jazz Mafia – 25th Anniversary Retrospective will feature Mike Olmos on trumpet, Dan White on alto and baritone saxophones, Tommy Occhiuto on tenor sax, Theis on trombone, Colin Hogan on keys, Sam Bevan on upright bass, Garland on drums, and special guest special guest Dublin on vocals.
