Ray Obiedo Group at Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society

About

Contemporary jazz composer and guitarist Ray Obiedo has had an eclectic musical background during his youth spent in the San Francisco Bay Area. The sounds of Miles Davis, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Henry Mancini and the popular sounds of Motown Records influenced his early musical persona. Obiedo has a long association with Pete Escovedo and played with Julian Priester, Herbie Hancock and more. The group Obiedo brings has been described as a jazz fusion band, but this group goes beyond the typical fusion format by exploring the exciting musical avenues of funk, Brazilian and Latin Jazz.
