Over the past decade, the Swiss-born Grégoire Maret has become the world’s most sought-after harp master, recording and touring with everyone from Youssou N’Dour and Meshell Ndegeocello to Steve Coleman, Jacky Terrasson, Marcus Miller and Herbie Hancock. A long-time member of the Pat Metheny Group, he earned a Grammy® Award in 2005. Maret recently made his debut as a bandleader on Koch with an ambitious self-titled release that features high-profile guests including harp legend Toots Thielemans, Cassandra Wilson and Gretchen Parlato. Earlier this year, he performed for SFJAZZ in an all-star tribute to Thielemans, instantaneously gaining a throng of Bay Area fans. During this concert, you can expect Maret to draw from a myriad of influences including jazz, soul and Brazilian to fuse an incredibly lyrical hybrid. He is joined by an electrifying quartet featuring pianist Federico Gonzalez Peña, bassist James Genus and drummer Clarence Penn.
