Prester & Samargia is a powerhouse quintet led by pianist-composer
Robert Prester and vocalist-arranger Adriana Samargia, known for
genre-blending artistry and an electrifying stage presence. Fusing
funky fusion, Afro-Caribbean, Balkan and Brazilian rhythms, jazz
standards, and reimagined pop, the ensemble delivers a cinematic,
high-energy sound that’s both richly textured and emotionally charged.
What began as a creative partnership between Robert and Adriana
has evolved into a tight-knit collective of virtuoso collaborators:
Zachary Guise on bass, Gusten Rudolph on drums and Mila Samargia
on vocals. Their arrangements are deeply layered, rhythmically
intricate, and vocally lush—elevated by each player’s unique
chemistry onstage. From transforming an ‘80s pop hit into a blazing
jazz waltz to diving into hard-swinging bebop or a fiery samba, the
Prester & Samargia Quintet offers an unforgettable experience that
ignites audiences and breathes bold new life into the jazz tradition.
