"This debut as a leader by pianist/multi-instrumentalist/composer Mariah Parker unveils a collection of eight original instrumental scores. Labeled as an Indo-Latin jazz musical experience, Parker and friends blend the rhythmic syncopations of Latin jazz music with the entrancing, asymmetrical meters of East Indian rhythms resulting in first-class world music." — LATIN BEAT MAGAZINE
"This is an excellent album from pianist Mariah Parker, whose work is best described as world jazz. Parker brings a wide variety of influences to Sangria, ranging from Indian and Middle Eastern music to Afro-Cuban salsa and Brazilian samba. She obviously appreciates the Eastern-influenced spirituality and mysticism of John Coltrane, Yusef Lateef, Pharoah Sanders, and Lonnie Liston Smith, but her composing also contains elements of everyone from Pat Metheny to Chick Corea. Parker, of course, didn't invent the idea of world jazz... but she keeps it moving forward, demonstrating that the fusion of jazz and world music still has plenty of possibilities after all these years." — ALL MUSIC GUIDE
"This collection of eight original instrumentals by Mariah Parker is just one of many examples of the infusion of East Indian music into Western music, but to my ears one of the most successful. — John Sunier, AUDIOPHILE AUDITION
"Parker kicks off her solo career with a well textured world beat date that finds her multi-instrumentalist abilities and her wide open ears leading the way. There's nothing but pros on board here who know what to do and they do it in a lively, spontaneous fashion that really grabs you. First class world beat that really covers the bases." — MIDWEST RECORDS
Olá Mariah, tudo bem? A música Lei de Murphy ganhou o 1º lugar no Festival de Santa Maria. Ela foi interpretada pela Carol Voigt. Gostaria que a visitasse no myspace.com/srtavoigt e desse "aquela força" para ela. Muito obrigado, abraços e sucessos!
I just finished an EP and would love your feedback ! I've had my music up at Myspace now for about 2 months and could use the support. Could you take a moment and let me know what you think ?
l'album "Tribute to Radiohead" de l'Amnesiac quartet est dès à présent (d'ici quelques jours sur Itunes) dispo en téléchargement avant sa sortie officielle dans les bacs en janvier prochain :
Thanks alot Mariah for your ears and your thoughts. I just removed the 1st Nov improv for some more tracks in the archives, a very Jarrettesque sounding version of "Vincent" (not that I quite have his touch!) and a very wild Piano, Clarinet Improv we titled "Agitato". Can't wait to hear new tracks from you, but in the meantime I am loving your album, it's on my Ipod and home studio and played regularly.
