Jazz Mandolin Project

All Ages

--

The Jazz Mandolin Project will perform a short run of dates in New England and New York this February, their first true tour in two decades. JMP is an adventurous ensemble founded in 1993 by mandolinist Jamie Masefield in Burlington, Vermont. What began as a way for Masefield to explore improvisation outside traditional jazz frameworks evolved into a boundary-pushing trio with a rotating cast of collaborators. From its earliest days, the group became known for genre-blurring live shows that leaned into spontaneity, groove, and fearless experimentation. The current lineup includes Masefield, drummer Jon Fishman, bassist Danton Boller and trumpeter / multi-instrumentalist Michael “Mad Dog” Mavridoglou.




Rather than sticking to a single genre, the Jazz Mandolin Project weaves together elements of jazz, rock, funk, and world-inspired rhythms. Their discography reflects that diversity, but it’s the band’s live performances—defined by musical risk-taking and unpredictability—that earned them a loyal following. At its core, JMP has always been about the thrill of discovery and the freedom to go anywhere musically on any given night.
