Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble: Fall Concert

Description

Stanford's critically-acclaimed ensemble is excited to present its first performance of the academic year! The evening features an exciting mix of music spanning the entire spectrum of the Latin Jazz idiom -- classic and modern Salsa from greats such as Ray Barretto and Grupo Niche, new-millennium Latin jazz from the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, and classic Jazz repertoire from the Modern Jazz Quartet.

Join us for a unique blend of music from both Americas.  The music is guaranteed to make you want to jump out of your seat. Don't miss it! Get your seats early - our last few shows in Campbell Recital Hall were SOLD OUT. The concert takes place on 11/16/19  at 7:30 PM at Campbell Recital Hall on the Stanford campus. Advance tickets are $5 cheaper, so book in advance.   In addition, the concert is free to Stanford students with valid SUID.

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.
