Mauricio Zottarelli

The Steve Sandberg Quartet masterfully blends classical and world music genres with the excitement of virtuosic improvisation. Both exhilarating and deeply poetic, the Quartet creates original compositions that draw on Sandbergs extensive experience with world and classical music, and presents them in a live acoustic band. Sandberg has toured with David Byrne, Bebel Gilberto, Ruben Blades, Mario Rivera, and was nominated for three Emmys for his music for Dora the Explorer. The quartet features the extraordinary violinist Zach Brock (of Snarky Puppy), along with bassist Michael OBrien and drummer Mauricio Zottarelli. All About Jazz called the Quartets first release, Alaya, a breathtaking composite of world music, jazz, and classical expressions ... an exultant music that's incredibly personal and precise in its direction, yet universal in its language and ability to connect. $15 admission.
