(see times)
Join the Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble for a special evening with Latin Jazz flute masters Andrea Brachfeld and John Calloway! Both world-class artists are considered to be pioneers of their craft, and they will be appearing together in a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration. Don't miss this special opportunity to see them both in the same evening! Get your tickets early and hope to see you there!
The concert features several of their original compositions and arrangements spanning the entire scope of the Afro-Latin Jazz genre. Included are songs from both the classic Charanga and Afro-Cuban folkloric traditions as well as modern Latin Jazz and Timba. A little flavor of R&B and Brazilian grooves are thrown in as well!
The concert takes place on Saturday, May 23 starting at 7:30 PM.
Andrea Brachfeld is internationally known for her contributions to many genres of music including Charanga, Salsa, Latin Jazz, Jazzs and even devotional music. Her breakthrough performance as the flutist for the popular Latin band Charanga ’76, catapulted her into Salsa history and fame as the first female flutist to play that music in the United States. Since then, she has recorded six CDs as a leader. The lastest 2012 release, "Lady of the Island", has received high critical acclaim for its unique approach to Latin Jazz. She continues to perform worldwide, most recently at the International Flute Festival in Peru and the Havana Jazz Festival. She has collaborated with musicians from all genres including Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Hubert Laws, Nestor Torres, Dave ValentÃn, Paquito D’Rivera, Wycliffe Gordon and Wallace Roney.
Dr. John Calloway is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, arranger and educator who has been a mainstay in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 30 years. Adept at flute, piano, and percussion, John has collaborated with a who's-who of Bay Area jazz and Latin jazz innovators and has received several Grammy nominations for both his playing and composing talents. He has released two innovative CDs as a leader, "Diaspora" and "The Code". John is also a key educator in the field and holds a Doctorate in Education for his teaching methodology in Latin Jazz. He has collaborated with international artists such as Dizzy Gillespie, Los Van Van, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, Max Roach, Arturo Sandoval, "Cachao" Lopez, Pete Escovedo and John Santos.
Established in 2008 by Grammy-nominated pianist Murray Low, the group has emerged one of the premier academic performing groups of its kind. As prior recipients of a prestigious SiCA (Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts) grant, SALJE has been afforded the opportunity to collaborate with several luminaries in the field of Afro-Latin music, including Karl Perazzo, John Santos, Ray Vega, John Calloway, Doug Beavers, Jesus Diaz, Wayne Wallace and flautist Andrea Brachfeld. These master musicians and educators have helped to elevate the ensemble's performance acumen, as well as aid in establishing Stanford as a vital West Coast center for Afro-Latin Jazz.
