New York guitarist Rez Abbasi is among the most creative and adventurous players on the jazz scene. He has created a singular, identifiable voice that blends modern stylists like Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell with music reflective of his Pakistani heritage. Voted # 2 Rising Star Guitarist for 2012 in the Down Beat magazine critics poll, Abbasi's latest release Continuous Beat has earned rave reviews from All About Jazz and the New York Times.

He will be joined by long-time associate Satoshi Takeishi on drums and San Diego virtuoso Mark Dresser on contrabass for what promises to be an electrifying night of rhythmic and melodic exchange.

"An amazing guitarist... unique and beautiful music--and best of all--very original." (Pat Metheny)
