Where The Waters Meet - An Evening of Original Jazz Premieres by Rob Diggins!
World-class musician and Humboldt-based creative Rob Diggins premieres 13 of his own original jazz compositions, penned especially for this show! Joining him are jazz trio RLA: Tim Randles (piano/keyboards), Mike LaBolle (drums), and Kenneth Lawrence (fretless electric bass), with special guests Blake Brown (jazz guitar) and Jolianne Einem (violin). Performing on his homemade 5-string electric violin, “Synthea,” and trumpet, “Andy,” Diggins explores a colorful musical landscape spanning Parisian Manouche, Bebop, Swing, Hard Bop, Cool Jazz, Jazz Funk, and Rock Fusion to contemporary jazz—all delightfully infused with musical reflections on his time spent at an ashram in Rishikesh, India.

(with his wife and world-class musician, Jolianne Einem), the Jazz Manouche band; Hobohemia, the Folk-Rock Cosmic Grass band; Lodestar, and frequently guests with the 7th Generation Rise band, led by Goodshield Aguilar, in addition to the indie rock/folk band, octobercountry, co-led by March Adstrum & Gabriel Izak, plus, Diggins continues to perform (now, for over 30 years!), as a tenured principal with the following period instrument orchestras; Portland Baroque Orchestra, directed by Julian Perkins, Baroque Music Festival Newport Beach, CA, directed by Elizabeth Blumentstock, and Sonoma Bach Choir, directed by Bob Worth.
