Join us at La Peña Cultural Center in Berkeley for Uncharted Territory, an unforgettable evening of live Afro-Latino Jazz led by multi-Grammy nominee and his renowned Sextet. This special concert blends deep musical improvisation, traditional Afro-Latino dance rhythms, and contemporary jazz influences, creating a transformative experience for all music lovers.
Improvisation is at the heart of jazz and traditional Afro-Latino music. It is an ancient link to the past and the future that honors celebrated and unknown ancestors as well as descendants. Through this shared moment of sound, expect a night of healing, compassion, and unspoken communication, uplifting everyone in the room.
Multi-Grammy nominee and USA Fontanals Fellow, John Santos, and his stellar Sextet shed light on the historical and cultural significance of Latin Jazz, as well as its aesthetic characteristics pertaining to instrumentation, rhythm, interpretation and improvisation. Organized in 2003, they specialize in exciting concerts and educational presentations from lecture/demonstrations to detailed clinics focusing on any number of relevant subjects such as composition, arrangement, rhythmic development, stylistic interpretation, studio performance, etc. Their repertoire consists of exciting original arrangements of Latin American classics and Jazz standards from the US, as well as original compositions. Equally at home with a dance or concert repertoire, The John Santos Sextet presents a wide range of styles and rhythms for audiences of all ages.
Featuring:
Dr. John Calloway – flute, percussion | Saul Sierra – bass | Marco Diaz – keyboard, trumpet | Charlie Gurke – saxophones | Josh Jones – drum set | John Santos – percussion
