The music of Mississippi may be described as an intense blend of colors and eclectic traditions that include modern jazz, festejo, hip hop and African influences. Wild and burnin’ one moment, soft and sweet the next…, this group has an emotional and creative range that is not to be missed! Mississippi is made up of four all-star Minneapolis/St. Paul based musicians: Pete Whitman-saxophones, Kavyesh Kaviraj-piano, Jeff Bailey-bass and Kevin Washington-drums.

The name refers to the river that runs through Minneapolis/St. Paul. The river has long facilitated connections between people, cultures, past and future. It inspires awe and introspection. It is representative of the kind of connections and resonances this group aspires to reflect!
