About Me:
Pianist and composer Mara Rosenbloom, has cultivated a quartet that “renders believable the future of jazz.” Lyrically contemplative & rhythmically pulsating, the group's sound showcases the candid human honesty, agile interplay, and energetic sense of groove that has always sustained and revitalized the spirit of jazz.

Rosenbloom’s quartet binds together some of New York's most innovative improvisers – Saxophonist Darius Jones (Mike Pride’s Bacteria to Boys, Trevor Dunn’s Period, Cooper-Moore Trio, William Hooker’s Bliss Quartet), bassist Maeve Royce (Rachel Z’s Department of Good & Evil), and drummer Nick Anderson - and offers a fresh perspective on composition and group interplay. After close to 3 years performing together, the Mara Rosenbloom Quartet tells instrumental stories with a sense of organicism and spontaneity that is truly a celebration of community & human interaction.

As the group continues to showcase & celebrate their debut release School of Fish, they are also currently working towards their second album, which will feature more original music by Mara Rosenbloom, delving further into how we forge unspoken bonds, react, drift apart, and out of inherent need, find each other again.

    Hi Mara! I am indeed a fan, a player (jazz guitar, arranging and composition, Berklee 74-77), and a scholar who is writing about jazz and cognition, from the perspective of the avant-garde, philosophy and cognitive science. I will keep an eye out for your performance, and if I can, introduce myself. My very best wishes.....mer
