Bio
Founded in 2000 by composer/instrumentalist Mark R. Merritt, Mesa Rio is, in essence, a jazz orchestra with a Latin-music 'flavor'. Improvisation is an integral part of this lively, upbeat music; rhythmically driven...melodically inspired.
The group performs regionally in the southeastern U.S., including the acclaimed "Riverbend Festival" in Chattanooga, Tn. in 2004 and again in 2006. Their debut CD receives airplay on commercial, college and public radio stations. Their second CD, "confetti fan tutti" was released April 1st, 2006 and is garnering praise from their growing fan base, as well as making new converts!
Built around the 'standard' four-piece rhythm section, snappy horns and pounding percussion round out the street-party sound of the band. WARNING: They're Fun, Danceable, Infectious, Contagious!
