Digital Concert: Edmar Colón Jazz Quartet
featuring John PatitucciPuerto Rican saxophonist, pianist, and composer Edmar Colón, explores the connections between the West African musical heritage in the Americas and the idiosyncrasies of classical music from Europe and beyond. By amplifying the similarities of these and other musical traditions, Colón achieves a distinctive homogenous blend of sounds, textures, and rhythms in his original work. This program will also include some selections from the expansive and ever-so-beautiful Puerto Rican songbook by composers such as Bobby Capó, Julio Guitiérrez, and Sylvia Rexach. Presented in association with Ágora Cultural Architects.
