The ensemble is excited to present our first performance of the academic year! We've got 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. You'll get to experience the full breadth of the that repertoire Afro-Latin Jazz has to offer. 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 Saturday, November 16 starting at 7:30 PM at Campbell Recital Hall on the Stanford campus. Advance tickets are $18 general/$13 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.
