Caracas Trio (6/11) is a group of three Venezuelan musicians who write and perform music rooted in Afro-Venezuelan rhythms and melodic improvisation. They use a unique instrumentation of keyboards, drums, and vibraphone to create a diverse range of sounds and colors in their music, incorporating a mix of drums and Venezuelan percussion instruments with the melodic improvisation and dexterity of the keyboard and vibraphone. Daniel Prim y Su Parampampan (6/13) is the musical vision of Latin Grammy Award-winning Venezuelan drummer and percussionist Daniel Prim. Rooted in the Afro-Venezuelan traditions of his hometown, Caracas, the project blends folkloric rhythms, jazz improvisation, and contemporary expression into a vibrant and deeply personal sound. Inspired by the joyful gatherings of his childhood — known as “parampampans” — Prim reimagines traditional songs through dynamic conversations between Drums, vibraphone, guitar, and melodic improvisation. Their debut album, Home, is a celebration of memory, community, and cultural resilience, inviting listeners into the heart of Venezuela through rhythm, storytelling, and improvisation.

Heralded by Marlbank as “Totally hypnotic” and “as clean and refreshing as the most unsullied mountain stream,” Tone Forest is a groundbreaking contemporary jazz ensemble that has been delighting audiences with its original music for the past seven years. This trio represents the fruits of decades of musical collaboration between three world-class musicians: Miro Sprague (piano), Jason Ennis (guitar), and Marty Jaffe (bass). Their music, conceived and composed specifically for this unique ensemble, fuses jazz, Brazilian styles, and free improvisation to create a genre-defying sound that is adventurous, meditative, and grounded in a deep sense of beauty and groove. Tone Forest released its self-titled debut album in 2024 on Outside In Music.
