Jazz at Manta is an album of originals and a selection of jazz favorites generated by popular demand and executed by the dynamic duo of multi-instrumental musician Jesse Snyder, able and versatile saxophone/clarinet player and simultaneous drummer along with Gary Washburn, a recognized jazz educator.

The two have been performing at the Manta Restaurant in the famed Mauna Kea Beach Hotel for the past 8 years. They have a musical chemistry and syncopated communication that is heard and seen in their live performances on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Manta Lounge and on the album.
