Manazma Sheen at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Manazma Sheen is a band you may have seen over the past six years at their monthly engagement at the Seamonster Lounge in Wallingford. Personally, I have seen them play with a variety of horn players and a guitarist or two, but the core members of the band are drummer Davy Nefos, vibraphonist Alfred Marra and bassist Trevor Pelletier. The band last played the Fellowship at their weekly start on Capitol Hill at Vermillion, this time settling into the newer digs in Pioneer Square.

Original compositions and arrangements of tunes of those who have inspired the band are featured. With their first album due for release in 2025, Manazma Sheen is a band that represents community in so many ways...

Manazma Sheen is a band you may have seen over the past six years at their monthly engagement at the Seamonster Lounge in Wallingford. Personally, I have seen them play with a variety of horn players and a guitarist or two, but the core members of the band are drummer Davy Nefos, vibraphonist Alfred Marra and bassist Trevor Pelletier. The band last played the Fellowship at their weekly start on Capitol Hill at Vermillion, this time settling into the newer digs in Pioneer Square.

Original compositions and arrangements of tunes of those who have inspired the band are featured. With their first album due for release in 2025, Manazma Sheen is a band that represents community in so many ways. They have welcomed a wide variety of musicians into the fold at different times, developing their sound on the bandstand. The core trio has developed a flexible group mind that crosses genres, but never loses its identity in the process. The Seamonster gig is a great hang, good to see the band heading down to Pioneer Square to allow us to share in the fun. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
