Acoustic bassist! Composer! Female! Bandleader! Contemporary! Jazz! Creative! Orchestral! Music!
A vibrant bassist and composer crossing boundaries that build a personal style.
"And if there’s one thing the Rob Garcia 4 has plenty of, it’s personality. Perennial pulls no punches, takes no prisoners and thoroughly satisfies." - All About Jazz
"Jain has arrived at an intriguing amalgam that alternately swings in straight 4/4 fashion and mesmerizes while injecting bits of Indian music along the way." - Jazztimes
A passionate blend of traditionalism and experimental instincts.
"He’s a real improviser, making impulsive choices about phrasing and how to imply a chord..." - Ben Ratliff, NY Times
Balancing the natural tension between improvisation and arrangement.
A trumpeter with a style as unique for composition as for improvisation.
