Event
Latin Jazz in Concert
With an international cast of jazz masters from across the Americas and beyond, this not-to-be-missed program brings an irresistible tropical vibe to the Healdsburg Jazz Festival.
The mini-festival opens guitarist Roni Ben-Hur and bassist Nilson Matta Trio with Billy Hart, one of jazz's most respected and recorded drummers. The Israel-born Ben-Hur made his mark in the late '80s, landing regular work with veteran masters like Barry Harris, Charles McPherson, and Cecil Payne. In partnership with Matta, he releases a new album on Motéma in early June.
The Brazilian Jazz All-Stars bring together a disparate cast of amazing players. Guitarist Romero Lubambo and bassist Nilson Matta are among the busiest Brazilian musicians in New York City, recording on hundreds of sessions and in their celebrated band Trio Da Paz. Lubambo is particularly respected for his startlingly beautiful work with vocalists such as Pamela Driggs on the acclaimed Braslia recording "River Wide" (Kokopeli). She returns to the HJF with Brasilia partner, drummer/composer Ted Moore.
The program also includes Rio-raised vocalist Claudia Villela, who has forged a stunning body of original tunes with guitarist and fellow Carioca Ricardo Peixoto, also on the bill. Guitarist Brian Moran and percussionist Ami Molinelli have collaborated extensively in the acclaimed Bay Area Brazilian ensembles Grupo Falso Baiano and Samba de Raiz. Reed master Harvey Wainapel, a gifted jazz player who has spent the past decade forging deep ties with leading Brazilian musicians, rounds out the cast.
The John Santos Sextet with special guests Pete Escovedo and Cuban trumpet star Arturo Sandoval brings the program to a blazing finale. Far more than a percussion master, Santos is an invaluable educator and activist, a keeper of the Caribbean flame steeped in Cuban and Puerto Rican roots music as well as salsa and Latin jazz. Adding to his stellar working sextet is percussionist Pete Escovedo, a major force in the West Coast Latin music scene for more than 50 years, and trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.
Since defecting from Cuba in 1990, Sandoval has become a towering figure in the U.S. jazz scene, recognized as a true heir to the glorious legacy of Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard, and Dizzy Gillespie (who befriended Sandoval on a pioneering trip to Cuba in 1977 and became one of his biggest supporters).
