Five accomplished flute players provide different perspectives on an instrument that has been represented in most cultures and peoples from antiquity to today - not your traditional flute ensemble evening by any stretch of the imagination!\n\nJohn Calloway - flute, piano and percussion\nRoger Glenn - flute\nHafez Modirzadeh - flutes\nTim Barsky - flute\nQuique Cruz - flutes\nMarcus Shelby - bass\nDavid Flores - percussion\nMurray Low - piano\n\nCalloway's "music speaks to the spirit and demonstrates the gifts of this unsung musical artist." - Jesse "Chuy" Varela, Latin Beat Magazine\n\nJohn Calloway is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger who has performed with many renowned jazz and Latin music artists throughout the United States, Europe and Latin America, among them: Israel "Cachao" Lopez, Max Roach, Omar Sosa and Dizzy Gillespie.

He has recently traveled to South America with the Chilean jazz group Quijerema, and with Teatro Arcoiris for the critically acclaimed theatre piece "Poeta Pan," based on the life and poetry of Pablo Neruda.\n\nHis recording credits as a performer and composer include his debut CD Diaspora, his recently released The Code (Bombo music) and collaborations with John Santos, Jesus Diaz and Omar Sosa. Included in his recording and writing credits are the Grammy nominations given to SF Bay (2003) with the Machete Ensemble, and Ritmo y Candela (1996) and Ritmo y Candela II (1998), produced by Greg Landau and featuring Cuban percussionists Changuito, Patato, and Orestes Vilato.\n\nAs an educator, Calloway currently teaches Afro-Cuban music and Latin American music courses at San Francisco State University and at the Jazz School in Berkeley, CA.
