Latin Jazz This Week
Latin Jazz This Week will bring you a weekly look into news from the Latin Jazz world. You’ll find new releases, recommended performances, web finds, and more. You can check out some current sounds in the Listening Center tab at the top of the page. Performance dates will be kept in the Live Latin Jazz tab at the top of the page.
If you’re in the Bay Area this week, make sure that you check out New York trumpet player Ray Vega, who will be giving a clinic as part of his time with the Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble. As we discussed in yesterday’s feature on the group, pianist Murray Low has brought Vega into work with the group and share his expertise with the community. The clinic will occur on this Wednesday afternoon, March 3rd, at 12:00 p.m. and cover the “New York Roots Of Latin Jazz.” Vega will be giving a concert with the group and Bay Area Latin Jazz musicians John Calloway and Jesus Diaz. Get all the details HERE.
Some people who will not be in the Bay Area this week will include a few of the region’s most prominent Latin Jazz musicians - Wayne Wallace, John Santos, David Belove, and Michael Spiro. These musicians will be in Colorado, holding down the fort at the Colorado Cuban Music Experience at the University of Colorado. This week long event will feature a number of great clinics from each of these musicians, both individually and in groups, covering just about every topic imaginable. It’s an incredible learning experience - if you’re in Colorado, you don’t want to miss this! The musicians will also be giving concerts throughout the week. Get all the details HERE.
Don’t forget - there’s a special deal going on for LJC readers in New York that might want to check out Pablo Aslan’s concert at the Rose Theater on March 26 & March 27. Just purchase your tickets online HERE and enter the promo code “Tango”. You’ll be entitled to a discount that goes up to 25% of the ticket price. Fans of tango-jazz will not want to miss this!
