The earliest form of latin jazz, Afro-Cuban jazz emerged in the early 1940s with the Cuban musician Mario Bauzá und Frank Grillo "Machito". It was the 1947 collaboration with Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo that brought Afro-Cuban rhythms into the east coast jazz scene; today, it is enjoyed around the world!
Join us when virtuoso trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos performs some of the most popular tunes of this genre - “A Night In Tunisia,” “Manteca,” “Con Alma” - and more. Pianist Irving Flores and conga player Tommy Aros add to the heat that may have you shakin’ in your seat!
