The son of a Pakistani father and Chilean mother, FAREED HAQUE developed an eclecticism that has become the hallmark of his music. Moving easily between jazz and classical guitar, Fareed’s versatility has created a demand for him with prominent musicians such as Paquito D’Rivera, Dave Holland, Sting, Joe Henderson, Joe Zawinul, Cassandra Wilson, and Kurt Elling, as well as by symphony orchestras in the U.S. and abroad. He has performed all of the major guitar concertos, is an active transcriber of baroque as well as South American music and has had numerous modern works dedicated to him. Joining Fareed are Hammond B-3 organist TONY MONACO, an internationally acclaimed musician and protégé of jazz organ great Jimmy Smith, and drummer GREG FUNDIS, described as “killing” by Ravi Coltrane.
