Unfulfilled Desires

Unfulfilled Desires (UD) is an international indie jazz-funk-rock collective with a diverse line-up of players on both sides of the Atlantic. The band's fresh and eclectic sound is the combined expression of the jazz, classical, rock, funk, and avant garde backgrounds of the revolving international lineup of players. From France, Germany, Chile, and the US, these creative improvisational musicians span three continents to create a unique musical expression that both includes and transcends their cultural and musical influences.

The sound is a brash combination of jazz virtuosity, funk-rock groove, and raw soul.

The visionary heart and core foundation of the band is the Massachusetts-based team of fusion drummer Andrew Cohen and classically trained sax, EWI and flute player Rodrigo Tarraza. In 2000, they and a few friends started jamming together in the Berkshires and Unfulfilled Desires was born. Since then the band has consistently evolved through different formations, rocking clubs from New York to Paris to Tel Aviv with a dynamic and sophisticated sound. UD has released two indie CDs Live at the Iron Horse (2003) and Enlightened Dog (2005). And their latest Punk Funk is scheduled for release in summer 2008.
