A blend of jazz, swing, funk, and Colombian rhythms

The Convergence Quartet balances an artistic tightrope blending a variety of music that is innovative and exploratory as well as accessible and groove-oriented. Leader Eugene Uman uses this group to present his own original compositions, many of which were inspired by his years living in Colombia, South America. “The intention when writing these pieces was to combine the vocabulary and swing of jazz with the edge of rock and funk and the inspiration of Colombian folkloric rhythms such as pasillocumbia, and currulao” says Uman.

When Houston joins the group, the vibe and repertoire embraces her penchant for singing soul and gospel music, as well as classic jazz standards.
