Mark Towns is one of the worlds leading exponents of guitar-based instrumental Afro-Cuban Jazz, composing and performing music which blurs the lines between Latin Jazz, Flamenco, Salsa, Funk, and Fusion. With grooves inspired by traditional Latin Jazz masters Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri, and Cal Tjader, Towns guitar work and arrangements combine the technical sophistication of Jazz and Flamenco with the down-to-earth feel of the Blues and Rock from his Texas upbringing to create something brand new. As Downbeat Magazine writer Paul MacArthur says, Mark Towns isn't just playing Latin Jazz, he’s making sure it continues to evolve. He will be accompanied by drummer/percussionist Cedric Leonardi (formerly of Gipsy Kings) and bassist Ross Schodek (from Poncho Sanchez Band). Adjacent to the Blue Guitar room is the Arroyo Seco Grill which has food, wine, and full bar. Or you can bring your own bottle for a $10 corkage fee. Showtime is 7:00pm, doors open 30 minutes prior.
