MINO CINELU

Mino Cinelu brings his infectious personality that is full of warmth and joie de vivre coupled with decades of intense study in a wide variety of international styles — from the streets of Paris to Dakar, the Mississippi Delta to Japan, and from the Caribbean to the Middle East.  He has performed and recorded with Miles Davis, Sting, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Tracy Chapman, Peter Gabriel, Stevie Wonder, and many more.

JAZZ MAFIA

Over Jazz Mafia’s 25 years of constantly pushing musical boundaries and surprising audiences, one of the backbones of their collective has been the ever-expanding horn section. Also known as Brass Mafia, the horns—led by Jazz Mafia founder Adam Theis—have collaborated with hundreds of top artists and are sought after for their eclectic and entertaining brass band performances.

Based on the tried-and-true New Orleans brass ensemble tradition, Brass Mafia includes trombone, trumpet, saxes, drums, and, most importantly, tuba. However, the band goes far beyond homage, embodying the eclectic spirit and innovation of the SF Bay Area in its sound and energy. Drawing on influences from multiple decades and continents, Brass Mafia crafts a diverse repertoire of originals and unexpected mashups, frequently collaborating with rappers and vocalists to create performances as distinctive as the region they represent.

With a strong emphasis on heavy backbeats, creative improvisation, and unique arrangements, Jazz Mafia has been featured at SFJAZZ, the annual SF Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday Parade (7 years), and events with Lyrics Born, Thomas Dolby, Peter Rowan, and Nicki Bluhm. Equally at home as a powerful marching band or a dynamic nightclub act, their sold-out shows are a testament to their versatility and crowd-pleasing energy.
