About Me

“Jar-e has a very nice voice. 'Sin Lugar' is hypnotizing. I love the jazz, funk, Latin and Brazilian blends.”
Ali Shaheed Muhammad, A Tribe Called Quest
"Jar-e’s stage show is captivating. He wields his voice like a weapon, starting in slow and rather unassuming but quickly escalating into a barely controlled wail, flirting emotively with pitch and not bothering with suave containment or other niceties. That’s a good thing."
Alli Marshal, Mountain Xpress, Asheville NC
"Wonderful broken kind of style with so much musical harmony and a nice melody. Love the tracks."
Bernd Niedergesaess, Radio 42, Hamburg, Germany

"Belleza" and "Hold On" are instant classics! I am all over anything by this guy from now on."
Gaskins, Boogieburg.com, Blacksburg, VA, USA

"Damn, I hope I see this on vinyl over here.
Paul Gamblin, Black & Blue Radio Shows, Bicton, WA Australia
"Great, organic, multicultural sound."
Jan Karmazin, DJ K-Vibe, Malmo, Sweden
"Super daring...song writing sensibilities are teriffic."
Bunny Maccintosh, Meltingdolls.com
"I'm DIGGING the jar-e record! One of the best sessions we’ve had in a long time."
Kim Clark, Local Color, WNCW Asheville, NC
This is an album that makes me reevaluate my stance on first impressions."
Scott Conine, Transformonline.com
"That jar-e's one smooth operator, smooth operator."
Tim D, The Wiles, Diplodocus
