Fareed Haque
Fareed Haque's trio ventures into new territory, devoloping his classical guitar inspired fingerstyle arrangements of classic jazz, funk and latin standards and unique compositions. Playing music from Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner to Sergio Mendes and The Meters as well as a healthy dose of original music this trio redfines the contrapuntal possibilities of the guitar in a trio setting. Featuring the legendary Mike Clark and incredible Peter Washington on bass.
Fareed Haque is a guitar virtuoso known for blending classical and jazz traditions in his music. Born to a Pakistani father and Chilean mother in 1963, he was exposed to various musical styles early on. His talent was honed at North Texas State University and Northwestern University. Haque’s career took off after joining Howard Levy’s Chevere and later, Paquito D’Rivera’s ensemble, with whom he toured and recorded extensively.

Joining Joe Zawinul’s Syndicate brought him back to his Jazz/Rock roots. In 2001, he co-founded the jam band Garaj Mahal and later, MathGames, exploring electronic music and the Moog Guitar. His compositions, including a double concerto premiered by The Chicago Sinfonietta, and his Gamelan Concerto, showcase his compositional talent.
