Meridian 71 is a cross-cultural music project created and led by Italian drummer and composer Giuseppe Paradiso. The project name comes from Boston's longitude: the 71st meridian that passes precisely through the eastern part of the city. Active since 2011, Meridian 71 has released three albums; their latest, Parallel Dimensions was released in 2022 on the London-based record label Ubuntu Music, and distributed worldwide by The Orchard (SONY). All three albums feature original compositions by Giuseppe Paradiso, and a unique sound that transcends boundaries, blending genres that range from Jazz and improvised music to Mediterranean and West African styles. This performance features an eclectic ensemble of well-established Boston-based musicians, including Giuseppe Paradiso on drums, Mark Zaleski on sax and clarinet, Phil Sargent on guitar, Brian Friedland on keys, James Heazlewood-Dale on electric and upright bass, and Malick Ngom on sabar and West-African drums.


This outdoor performance from eclectic World Jazz project, Meridian 71 is the seventh, and second to last :( show of the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts' 2024 Schoolyard Summer Concert Series. Visit our website to check out the other performance dates in the series. 


Admission to all concerts is free! A $20 donation is suggested & all other donations are gratefully accepted to ensure we can pay our musicians, curators, and audio engineer. Please bring your own seat, and leave your pets at home.
