Snap on 2&4 w/ Rod McGaha & the Imer Santiago Quintet
Update: Imer Santiago will not be able to appear due to a death in the family. Performing in his place will be trumpeter Rod McGaha. We extend our condolences to Imer and his family, and will miss him on Friday. Nevertheless, we look forward to a spirited performance from Rod and the rest of the band.
On Friday, May 8 at 8pm, NJW is pleased to welcome trumpeter Imer Santiago and his quintet back to the Jazz Cave for a return Snap on 2&4 appearance.
Born in Lorain, Ohio, to parents originally from Puerto Rico, Santiago took up trumpet while in the fifth grade, and grew up listening to church hymns and to African-American gospel songs that had been translated into Spanish. Remaining active in church music, he toured from 2004 to 2007 as a member of the prominent Austin-based Christian rock band Salvador, with whom he still plays occasional dates. After high school - where he played in the orchestra, marching band, and jazz band - Santiago went on to earn bachelor's degrees in jazz studies and atmospheric sciences from Ohio State University, followed by a master's of music in jazz studies from the University of New Orleans, where his instructors included Ellis Marsalis, Wendell Brunious, Harold Battiste, and Clyde Kerr Jr. Imer released his debut CD, "Hidden Journey," in 2013.
