In high-school Alicia won state-wide classical competitions on alto saxophone. Later she played Baritone with a Mexican band in SoCal and traveled with them as far as Australia on tour. In the late 1990s she found her true love on tenor sax and broke new ground in the creative sounds of free improv and creative music while living in the Bay Area. She appeared frequently here and toured the midwest in the winter of 2008 with
Jim Ryan's group. Her band for Monday's concert will include: Alicia Mangan on tenor sax,
Jim Ryan on sax/flute/trumpet, C.J. Borosque trumpet, Bob Marsh on contra bass, &
