THIS WEEK’S JAZZ IN NEW BRUNSWICK

Part of NBJP's mission is to showcase the next generation of jazz musicians ... the future "greats!" This is a chance to see them NOW! Guitarist  John Nunez leads the band and the session.

Sylvia is as driving, swinging and crisp a percussionist as you will find anywhere--evidenced by her stellar resume. She traveled and performed extensively with trumpet legend Clark Terry as part of his quintet and she has played/toured with many jazz luminaries including Jimmy Heath, Marian McPartland, Jon Faddis, Kenny Barron, Hilton Ruiz, Dave Valentin, Michael Brecker, Regina Carter, Dr. Billy Taylor, Houston Person, Mulgrew Miller, Dianne Reeves & Joshua Redman.
