“Libby’s exceptional composing skills coupled with her unique guitar playing style makes her band “Fractal” sound totally original. The African and Brazilian influenced rhythms are very accessible.”

"Its jazz, man," succinctly states Fractals bio. But don't be so humble-Fractal is also one of the Rose City's finest jazz-fusion outfits. Led by guitarist Libby Roach and bassist Nathanial Shortz, the groups rotating collaborators allow its songs to veer into various realms, from traditional be-bop to 70s fusion.
