outstanding young New Mexico jazz talent...led by piano master, john rangel
Multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer and educator, John Rangel is currently Music Chairman for the New Mexico School for the Arts… which gives him a direct line to emerging jazz talent. And one of Rangel’s great passions is playing music with brilliant young talents. The John Rangel Sextet features exciting young players from Santa Fe, several of whom have been Rangel’s students. All have bright futures in jazz. Under Rangel’s leadership, they explore a tremendous range of jazz styles and creative arrangements from hard swinging bebop to beautiful ballads and soulful original compositions by band members Rangel, Robert Beasley and Cyrus Campbell. Ash Mattia, the youngest member of the band and
a current student of Rangel’s, is a founding member of Zaphica, which won 2024 Best Arrangement of an Original Recording from the New Mexico Music Awards. Saxophonist Dominic Martinez studied with Rangel before graduating from California Institute of the Arts. Trumpeter Robby Beasley teaches at UNM and alongside Rangel at New Mexico School of the Arts, and has become the most in demand trumpet player in New Mexico. Bassist Cyrus Campbell, a Santa Fe native, excelled at the Berklee College of Music where he studied performance and composition, and is now one of the premier jazz bassists in New Mexico. Drummer Jonah Minkus has made a name for himself in the jazz and indie music scene around the Southwest and beyond.
