Matt Jenson, pianist and composer, and José Claussell, inspired percussionist with Maestro Eddie Palmieri, are two visionary musical artists who are teaming up to bring forward Rebel Tumbao (Rebel "Groove"). This powerful musical project soulfully merges Roots Reggae and Roots Afro-Latin vibrations with original compositions and wicked arrangements of Bob Marley's music, all with a critical progressive social message for our times.

Matt and José are raising money to fund their first full length recording which will help launch the band on an international level. For this event at Piedmont Piano Co. they are presenting an intimate 'unplugged' version of the group featuring Matt and José along with Toussaint Yeshua, their extraordinary soul singer, and Geoff Brennan, one of the Bay Area's finest bass players. All of Matt and José’s work in developing Rebel Tumbao is aimed at creating transcendent moments on stage, in recordings, and in their educational programs that ignite the innate beauty, humility and interconnectedness that we all carry within ourselves.

The Rebel Tumbao quartet will be performing a number of pieces that will be included on the upcoming recording, and discussing the artistic vision of the band, with a Q & A session included. It will indeed be a unique evening of music, community, and great wine and hor’s d’oeuvres! Options for further contributions to the project will be presented. (Ticket price includes beverages and hor's d'oeuvres.)
