Greg Lowe

Greg Lowe was born in Winnipeg Canada on June 30th 1957. He picked up his brother's guitar at age 10 and immediately began composing his own music. Initially inspired by blues and rock musicians he eventually found jazz, and proceeded to Grant MacEwan College in Edmonton to learn the basics of jazz harmony. In 1985 on return from a two week stint studying in New York with guitarists John Scofield, John Abercrombie and Steve Kahn, Lowe put a call into Prakash John, leader of Toronto's premier R&B band The Lincolns, and shortly after began four years of touring coast to coast with many of Toronto's finest players.
Upon returning to Winnipeg in 1990, he began recording his first CD "The Art Of Bending", which lead to the international release of "Greg Lowe" by Jazz Inspiration/MCA in 1993 and "Thrilled Against My Will" by Jazz Inspiration/Allegro in 1996. Jazz Times reviewer Hillarie Grey wrote "making unexpected orchestration seem perfectly natural... Lowe's work is deliberate and clever."
Focusing on composition as much as guitar performance, Lowe's body of work has grown to include large orchestra, chamber ensembles, theatre, television, dance, radio musicals and dramas. He has released seven CDs featuring original music in both electric and acoustic formats.
Bruce Jacobs

Bruce is one of the most talented bassists in the city. He has toured accross Canada and other parts of the world. Bruce has played with some of the best and we are excited to have him at Inferno's

Papa Mambo Trio

When Rodrigo Munoz returned to Winnipeg following an eight-year sojourn in Chile (his home and native land), he not only brought back his welcome exuberance but also an even greater understanding of the intoxicating Latin jazz and big band music that has been his muse since he was a youngster studying classical guitar at the University of Manitoba. Munoz is one of those musical polymaths capable of precise, gifted work on a variety of instruments, but it is his understanding of the interplay between rhythm and melody that gives Papa Mambo its vibe and its soul.
