Together with musical directors Rick McLaughlin and Jesse Taitt, we are thrilled to announce the launch of The Mandorla Collective. Each year, a select ensemble of top Boston-based musicians will celebrate the music of a figure central to Boston jazz history whose influence continues to reverberate.

Launching this project is an exciting next step in Mandorla Music’s evolution. Since 2013, we’ve been shining a light on the extraordinarily rich and diverse jazz scene of today’s Boston. Working with Rick and Jesse to pay homage to those who’ve come before is a deep honor.

On Sunday, November 9th, in Peabody Hall at Dorchester’s Parish of All Saints, The Mandorla Collective’s debut performance will feature a celebration of the music of the late George Russell.

Personnel for this performance will be:

Allan Chase - saxophones

Peter Kenagy - trumpet

Randy Pingrey - trombone

Amaury Cabral - guitar

Liz Sinn - piano

Rick McLaughlin - bass

Brooke Sofferman - drums
