Louis Armstrong’s music is just plain FUN! Yes he was foundational in the development of Jazz and modern music, yes he was a trumpet virtuoso, yes he was a magnetic personality that drew people together from all different backgrounds, and we love him for all of this. We will celebrate him for all of this by having pure fun exploring his sound for you as we celebrate him.
We Rise As One! A Premiere of a new Latin Jazz Suite by Johnny Summers. Join us as we present this work that ranges musical styles from Latin America and fuze them with the sounds of the history of Jazz. Featuring special guest musicians Esteban Herrara - piano, Gisela Romero - vocals, Raul Tabera - congas and more!
