THE PEOPLE OF PEACE
Nora McCarthy-Voice, Jorge Sylvester-Alto Saxophone, Andrew Green-Guitar & Pedals, Gene Torres-Electric (6) String Bass & Pedals, Kenny Grohowski-Drums
The outstanding skill of this tightly knit group cannot be overstated. These highly seasoned and innovative musicians, all of whom are unique and highly expressive improvisers, bring with them a plethora of musical ideas that draw from a global perspective and a variety of musical influences all rooted in the jazz tradition.
​
Their music is an uplifting, inspiring, joyous and magical mix of select jazz instrumental classics refashioned into vocal masterpieces and McCarthy's original compositions and lyrics that address the overwhelming need for compassion, environmental awareness and understanding in our world today and is first and foremost a love story that urges us to love one another and ourselves, to be the best we can be, to open our minds and hearts and acknowledge our blessings. It is about peace through harmony, liberation through creative expression, reaching for our higher selves and expanding our consciousness, recognizing and holding steadfast our connection to one another, to the earth, and to our place within the universe. It pays homage to the subtle energies that influence creativity, and ultimately give birth to hope and renewal.
