Mason Razavi's Quartet Plus @ AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival at AT&T San Jose Jazz Festival at Fairmont Hotel

Bay Area jazz guitarist Mason Razavi brings his thoughtful and evocative style to his critically acclaimed release Quartet Plus. Quartet Plus, which features original music for jazz quartet and nonet, is both steeped in the jazz tradition and forward-reaching at the same time. The music ranges from stirring ballads to driving backbeats, from odd time signatures and deep rhythms to sing able melodies and lyrical improvisation. The album is a perfect confluence of beautiful guitar music, lush arrangements, and contemporary sounds.
