NEWS
We often think of Latin Jazz musicians as sending their entire artistic output through music, but that’s not always the case. This week you can check out Pete Escovedo displaying his paintings at an art showing. The event will be held Saturday October 25 - Sunday October 26 in Victory Plaza, Hollywood, CA. You can get full event details as well as check out some sample work HERE.
