POSTPONED: Steve Turre Meets Sonic Liberation Front & The Havana/New York Connection

May 23, 2020 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm

$25.00

PNC Arts Alive presents Jazz Cultural Voices.  The Philadelphia Clef of Jazz & Performing Arts has received this very prestigious grant award.  Just over 30 organizations in the Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey region were selected for bold thinking around increasing arts access and engagement and Jazz Cultural Voices was one.

An evening celebrating the musical ties of 3 cities: Philadelphia – Havana – New York 

The 1980 landmark album Ya Yo Me Cure by Jerry Gonzalez identified the future of Latin Jazz. It re-contextualized Latin Jazz blending the best aspects of Afro Cuban rumba and Jazz through the lens of New York’s Central Park rumberos. 

This evening at the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, and in this installment of their Jazz Cultural Voices series Trombonist Steve Turre, joins Sonic Liberation Front and artists drawn from 2 generations celebrating this music and its impact on the current day. 

Mr. Turre and all of the 14 artists assembled have performed or recorded with some of the iconic names in jazz, latin, and folkloric music. The evening will unfold as in permutations of the assembled artists to form something akin to a variety show.
