Bay Area-based Charged Particles is celebrating their 33rd year of playing funky Latin jazz. Of the group, reviewers have said: “A tight and enormously talented trio.” (Jazz Times Magazine) “Charged Particles is definitely dazzling.” (Jazz and Blues Report) “Fresh, energized jazz that showcases the trio’s individual technical mastery.” (Jazz News Magazine) “Tight interplay, spark, and personal flair.” (Los Angeles Times) “Something special: inventive, invigorating, mesmerizing, and virtuostic.” (Downbeat Magazine) The Ventura County Reporter called them "Tight, sophisticated, and playful. They showcased their camaraderie as much as their musicianship, gliding through their repertoire like the seasoned professionals they are and joyfully riffing on each other's improvisations. Not sure if the musicians or the audience had more fun, but a good time was definitely had by all."
