KOMAGA TRIO – Kosako / Manring / Garcia

About

Siskiyou Music Project welcomes the Komaga Trio to southern Oregon for the first time on Sunday, August 16 at 7 p.m. at Grizzly Peak Winery. Virtuosity and daring improvisation define this ensemble: harp innovator Motoshi Kosako, fretless-bass legend Michael Manring, and percussion visionary Chris Garcia create a boundary-defying blend of jazz, world rhythm, and chamber nuance. Their spontaneous interplay recalls the adventurous spirit of the legendary band "Oregon"—lyrical, unpredictable, and deeply musical. Each performance unfolds like a conversation among masters: intricate, emotive, and alive with rhythmic intelligence. Sophisticated yet soulful, KOMAGA TRIO invites audiences into a realm where jazz tradition evolves into something exquisitely new.
