Description

The acclaimed Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble is excited to present its final performance of the academic year! The program will consist of a unique blend of traditional and contemporary songs spanning the entire scope of the Afro-Latin genre, mixed together in new and exciting ways. We'll put a Latin spin on pieces from American musicals, lullabies, and African Orisha chants, as well as including the usual solid mix of Rumba, classic salsa and Latin jazz.

The concert includes songs composed or performed by greats such as Celia Cruz, El Gran Combo, Tito Puente, Ruben Blades, Johnny Pacheco and John Calloway. The concert also premieres all-new compositions that have only been recently released as well.

The concert takes place on Friday, May 27 starting at 7:30 PM at Campbell Recital Hall on the Stanford campus. Admission is $15 general/$10 senior & students. In addition, the concert is free to Stanford students with valid SUID. For more information, see the group website at http://latinjazz.stanford.edu/. To purchase tickets, go to tickets.stanford.edu or call the Stanford Ticket Office at 650.725.2787.

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 Oscar Hernandez, 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.
