Rooted in
Rhythm.
A jazz group built around the bass — scalable from an intimate trio to a full combo, tuned to your room.
Old world sensibilities with a modern flair.
An up and coming St. Louis jazz artist, Queen has already become a standout in the state, earning a spot in Berklee's Aspire: Great Women Composers and Music ensemble, the Missouri All-State Jazz Band, and the Jazz St. Louis All-Stars Combo. Her recent composition, Sapphire Guy, received the University of Missouri's first place recognition in 2026.
Music by Mara plays jazz, swing, funk, and modern — a group sized to fit exactly what your event needs, from a quiet trio to a full combo.
From trio to full combo.
Music by Mara is a working St. Louis jazz group. Book an intimate rhythm trio for dinner and cocktails, or scale up to a full combo with horns for a wedding reception or a room that wants to dance — same tight, seasoned players either way.
Hear the room change.
