Ray Obiedo

Ray Obiedo has a wide-ranging sensibility that derives from his broad exposure to music growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. After perfecting the funky James Brown-style of melodic/percussive rhythm guitar, Obiedo stretched out into the jazz world, never straying far from his pop and R&B roots and the influences of Motown. Touring and/or recording with such artists as Herbie Hancock, George Duke, Marc Russo and the acid jazz group RAD, Obiedo has emerged as a prolific guitarist, composer, arranger, and producer.
