Daro Behroozi has been teaching music to young people for 12 years. He began as a volunteer with the Musical Mentors program in 2009, where he taught woodwinds and creative expression to elementary school students in Harlem for 4 years. Since then, as an original member of the internationally touring brass band Lucky Chops, he has taught master classes and led clinics with young musicians across the US and Europe.
Francisco Mela (b. 1968 in Bayamo, Cuba) moved to Boston in 2000 to pursue a degree at the acclaimed Berklee College of Music. Quickly thereafter, the faculty recognized that Mela had much to offer students and promptly hired him to teach. Mela rapidly made a name for himself on the Boston scene, becoming the house drummer at the legendary Wally’s Café Jazz Club. It was at Wally’s that Mela began developing a concept for his own band, one that would feature the sounds of modern jazz with the traditional music he grew up with in Cuba. Fellow Berklee faculty member and world-renown saxophonist Joe Lovano heard Mela and was immediately impressed, hiring him to play in his quartet. Since 2005, Mela has been an integral part of Joe Lovano’s quartet and his new group, “Us Five,” a two-drummer quintet. In 2009, Mela was tapped by jazz legend McCoy Tyner to join his trio; said Tyner of his new young drummer, “Mela is just a fantastic player. He has his own style and his own sound, which is what I look for in a drummer.” franciscomela....
