Chris Garcia
Chris Garcia is outstanding as far drummers go - he not only performs standard rhythms and variations, but he has a unique fluency with odd time signatures and sonic textures, which he incorporates into his playing. A graduate of CAL ARTS, he has been the drummer/percussionist of several critically acclaimed ensembles including Continuum, The Grandmothers Reinvented (compositions of Frank Zappa and former members of The Mothers), Quarteto Nuevo (Chamber/Jazz/Experimental World Music Ensemble), The Michael Vlatkovich Ensemble, Mexica and Demania (with Alex DeGrassi and Michael Manring) www.liraproductions.com
