TOBAJ


Tobáj is an international Latin/Jazz singer, guitarist, songwriter, and recording artist who lives in Portland, Oregon (USA). Tobáj has performed internationally in Spain, Mexico, Japan and the Caribbean, as well as on the West Coast, Hawaii and Alaska. He has also been featured on many radio and television programs in the U.S. and abroad.
Tobáj performs solo with guitar, with small jazz ensembles, and with larger jazz and Latin bands. His most recent CD - self titled, "Tobáj", received a review in the August 2005 issue of JAZZIZ MAGAZINE that reads: "Tobáj (Tobáj Music) - The Portland-based singer/guitarist blends easy and romantic vocals in Spanish and English with spirited acoustic accompaniment that tackles numerous genres, from flamenco to samba. The smoldering seduction is broken up, joyously, by the Santana-like electric fire of "Sensacional." Tobáj is also an accomplished "straight ahead standard-jazz" singer - specializing in vocal improvisation (scat singing).
Many have said, "A Latin Grammy waiting to happen." When performing in the Portland area, Tobáj draws from a wide variety of some of the most accomplished and well-known jazz musicians in the Northwest. Many of these musicians are featured on his new CD, such as Patrick Lamb (Sax), Jay "Bird" Koder (Electric Guitar), Jim Fischer (Keys and Piano), Sandin Wilson (Bass), Paul Mazzio (Trumpet and Flugelhorn), Toshi Onizuka (Flamenco Guitar), Caton Lyles (Percussion) and more! Tobáj is an all around entertainer who brings a high level of energy and professionalism to all his performances.
