Edmar Castaneda & Gregoire MaretQuartet

Edmar Castañeda nominated for a Latin Grammy in the category "Best Latin Jazz Album" with his album Family. The New York Times "...Castaneda... engage[s] modern jazz in ways that honor...cultural origins, and [he has] the capacity to astonish by virtue of [his] fingerstyle technique.”

@moses highlights his “5 Favorite NPR “Tiny Desk Concerts” and says, “My brain cracked open when I first saw this. Some classical instruments are so ingrained in our heads for sounding one way; Edmar restructures what we know of harp, defiantly expanding the bounds of the instrument.”

Grégoire Maret redefined the role of the harmonica, finding fresh pathways through a remarkable variety of styles. Herbie Hancock has called Maret "one of the most creative musicians around," while @therealmarcusmiller has declared that he is "carrying the instrument into the 21st century with prowess, passion, and creativity."
