Mason Razavi Organ Quartet feat. Charles McNeal

Guitarist Mason Razavi has been a mainstay on the SF Bay Area jazz scene for over a decade. He has been praised for his “top-tier guitarmanship” (Vintage Guitar Magazine), while his compositions offer “an introspective experience of deeper meaning” (JazzTimes).  He’s been recognized in his hometown as a “melodically inventive composer” (San Jose Mercury News) and a “terrific and consistent presence in the Bay Area jazz scene” (Metro Online) who has “carefully crafted his own voice” (SanJose.com). He was a recipient of the 2021 Leigh Weimers Emerging Artist Award, named after the longtime Silicon Valley arts journalist.

This performance will feature the superlative combo of Brian Ho on organ and Jason Lewis on drums, plus special guest saxophonist Charles McNeal. Widely regarded as a masterful saxophonist, McNeal has performed nationally and internationally with the likes of Lyle Lovett, Wynton Marsalis, James Carter, Steve Turre, McCoy Tyner, Bruce Forman, Roberta Flack, Boz Scaggs, and countless others.
