"Feed The Fire" Presents: María Grand Quartet with Shakoor Hakeem, Miguel Russell & Gervis Myles
Grand’s new ensemble explores rhythm, collective improvisation, and vulnerably honest musical moments. Drawing from her New York roots, the project moves between raw intensity and spacious reflection, creating a powerful musical experience grounded in sound, ritual, and connection.
Oct 09, 2026, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Sam First, 6171 W Century Blvd #180, Los Angeles, CA 90045, USA
María Grand (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, vocals, composition), Shakoor Hakeem (percussion), Miguel Russell (drums), Gervis Myles (bass)
With this new ensemble, Grand focuses on drums & rhythm and goes back to her New York roots, back to the city where she learned how to play and made her mark. This band features new compositions seeking to honor the continuum of Black music that is often called jazz, as well as focusing her intention of collective ritual with almost folkloric sounds.
