This music is inspired by Miles Davis's electric projects and Herbie Hancock's Mwandishi band. “Nick Di Maria casts his lot with the jazz of the 1970s. He and his band are a tight, sinuous unit…whosemusic is sometimes moody, sometimes playful, and often danceable. In a word, groovy.” -New Haven Independent“New Haven-based trumpeter and composer Nick Di Maria has carved out a niche for himselfover the last decade.” -Hartford Courant
