Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble Fall Concert
SEE EVENT DETAILS
at Campbell Recital Hall, Stanford
(see times)
The acclaimed Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble presents its first performance of the academic year on Thursday, December 4 at 7:30 pm in Campbell Recital Hall on the Stanford campus. The group is presenting all new works and features songs composed or performed by famous artists such as Celia Cruz, Irakere, Issac Delgado, Manolito, Franklin Dante, John Santos, Jesus Diaz and Chembo Corniel.
Admission is $15 general/$10 students and seniors. In addition, the concert is free to Stanford students with valid SUID.
A special part of the concert is dedicated to songs from the "Timba" genre, a very modern sophisticated form of Cuban salsa which emerged around 2000. The idiom features tight arrangements, complex rhythms, cool harmonies, and most of all, a high degree of energy! Of course, the program always represents the full spectrum of the Afro-Latin Jazz idiom, and will also consist of modern jazz arrangements, traditional Cuban Son and Salsa, and centuries-old songs from the long standing Rumba tradition. The band features some incredible musicians, and will appeal to listeners and dancers alike!
Established in 2008 by Grammy-nominated pianist Murray Low, the ensemble has emerged as 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 affored the opportunity to collaborate with several luminaries in the field of Afro-Latin music, including Karl Perazzo, John Santos, Ray Vega, John Calloway, 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.
