The Ray Obiedo Group

Bay Area guitar icon and composer Ray Obiedo brings his dynamic ensemble to Keys Jazz Bistro for an evening of sun-drenched melodies and infectious rhythm. A seasoned veteran who has toured and recorded with luminaries like Herbie Hancock, George Duke, and Sheila E., Obiedo pioneered a distinctive Northern California sound that bridges contemporary jazz with East Bay funk, salsa, and Brazilian bossa nova. Backed by top-tier Bay Area rhythm specialists, the group delivers lush guitar textures, syncopated polyrhythms, and breezy, soulful grooves that showcase decades of cross-genre mastery.
