Taarka, Demania Trio February 15, 2008

The seeds of Taarka were planted in fall of 2001. David Tiller and Enion Pelta were both playing in a bluegrass group in Brooklyn, New York. In late 2001, David called up his old friend Jarrod Kaplan. From the first, the three loved playing together. They continue to do so, and since the addition of new bass player Jason Flores, a great player well-educated in jazz and middle eastern music, Taarka's changing and growing in some new directions.

Two innovators of solo instrumental music, acoustic guitarist Alex de Grassi and electric bassist Michael Manring, join forces with percussionist and tabla player Chris Garcia for a set of arranged and improvised music.
