Jazz Talk: The Use of Latin Rhythms in Jazz Music
Time: 7:00 PM-9:00 PM
Place: Brooks Memorial Library, Brattleboro, VT (about 19 miles from Keene)
Price: Free
Ages: older crowd
Please join Vermont Jazz Center's faculty artist, Dr. Julian Gerstin, for a talk on The use of Latin Rhythms in Jazz Music. The pre-concert talk is for saxophonist/percussionist Miguel Zenon who will perform at the Jazz Center on November 12th.
Zenon's music is jazz based on the Bomba and Plena rhythms of Puerto Rico.
Julian Gerstin, Ph.D. is an ethnomusicologist and percussionist specializing in music of Africa and the Caribbean. He has taught at Wesleyan University, Clark University, Marlboro College, and is currently at Keene State College.
At the Vermont Jazz Center, Julian co-leads the Latin Jazz Ensemble with Eugene Uman, runs an ensemble in the Summer Jazz Workshop, and serves on the Grants Committee and as President of the Board.
So many awards and accolades have been heaped on alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon in his brief-but-storied career, it's difficult to keep up--MacArthur Fellow, Guggenheim Fellow, multiple Grammy Award nominee, Jazz Times Magazine Best New Artist of the Year, four times top Rising Star in the Downbeat Critic's Poll. One thing is certain: Zenon creates a riveting musical texture with his melding of jazz and plena--a musical tradition of Puerto Rico, his home--his rhythmic innovation and the pure, graceful sound he commands from his axe.
Sponsored by the Vermont Jazz Center and Brooks Memorial Library.
