Mike Marshall and Choro Famoso February 24, 2009

Mike Marshall is one of the world's most accomplished and versatile acoustic musicians, a master of mandolin, guitar and violin whose playing is as imaginative and adventurous as it is technically thrilling. Able to swing gracefully from jazz to classical to bluegrass to Latin styles, he puts his stamp on everything he plays with an unusually potent blend intellect and emotion a combination of musical skill and instinct rare in the world of American vernacular instrumentalists. This evening Marshall brings in his Brazilian acoustic ensemble Choro Famoso, comprised of the best of Bay Area acoustic Latin music players as they play the Brazilian acoustic music known as Choro.
