About Me

The track here are original compositions from my upcoming CD release, Sangria.

"With her music and her soul, Mariah Parker transcends musical categorization and gives us a window to an ideal world. Her music is uplifting, peaceful yet passionate, and always evolving. The collective spirit of the players on Sangria shines through, enveloping you with exotic texture and inventive play, but what captivates us is Parker’s gift for melody. Although instrumental, her pieces speak and sing to us, sometimes whispering, sometimes asserting, and always giving us great pleasure. Sangria is a glimpse into this remarkable woman’s soul, where we find comfort and excitement in her compositional journey." — Rebeca Mauleon (pianist, composer, jazz critic)
