Sat 09.25 @ 8:00 p.m. “Salsa Meets Jazz”
Tito Nieves (vocals)
Arturo O’Farrill & The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra
Eddie Palmieri Salsa Orchestra
In the best tradition of the venerated “Salsa Meets Jazz,” this
all-star lineup features three of the greatest attractions in all of
contemporary Afro-Latin music: 10-time Grammy Award-winning,
hard-swinging virtuoso pianist Eddie Palmieri and his Salsa Orchestra,
Puerto Rico’s celebrated son and “Pavarotti of Salsa” singer Tito
Nieves best known for his version of Pete Rodriguez’s 1967 classic “I
Like It Like That,” and storied bandleader and keyboardist Arturo
O’Farrill (son of legendary Cuban musician Chico O’Farrill and heir to
a great musical legacy) and his Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra who are fresh
off of a 2021 Grammy win for Best Latin Jazz Album for Four Questions (Zoho
Music). Tickets: $29-$89
Sat 11.06 @
7:00 p.m. TD James Moody Jazz Festival: Pedro Giraudo + Nimbus Dance
Pedro Giraudo Tango Quartet:
Pedro Giraudo (bass, bandleader)
Nick Danielson (violin)
Rodolfo Zanetti (bandoneon)
Ahmed Alom (piano)
Based in Jersey City, N.J., the boundary-pushing, community-driven
modern dance ensemble performs a special program as part of the TD
James Moody Jazz Festival—including the world premiere of Raucous Caucus Tango,
a collaboration with Latin Grammy Award-winning tango virtuoso Pedro
Giraudo and his Tango Quartet. Giraudo is regarded as one of
the most compelling tango artists today— an active cultural ambassador
for the beautiful and passionate music of his native
Argentina. This creative mash-up of bawdy storytelling, slapstick
humor, and exquisite choreography pokes fun at our electoral process,
set to the passionate, dramatic rhythms of Argentine tango. Tickets: $59
