Known for its stunning interpretation of traditional jazz classics, this outstanding group of musicians from the Washington, D.C. area joins forces with percussionist Joe McCarthy, the founder of D.C. area Afro-Cuban jazz septet Afro Bop Alliance, and Venezuelan-born virtuoso percussionist Roberto Quintero for a performance featuring Brazilian bassa nova, Argentinean tango, afro-cuban beats from Harlem, and more. The program includes the music of Tito Puente, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Dizzy Gillespie, Astor Piazzolla, and others. Donโ€™t miss this sizzling evening of passionate, hip-swaying Latin jazz music!...
