Experience Latin Jazz Master JOHN SANTOS
"The Latin music Renaissance man" (San Francisco Chronicle), percussionist and composer John Santos is turning 70, and he is celebrating the milestone with a magical, all-star evening of Latin jazz.
Santos is one of the most revered figures in Afro-Cuban music, known for his masterful percussion work and his profound commitment to educating audiences on the rich tapestry of Latin music history. For this special birthday concert, he anchors the night with his telepathic Sextet in the Miner Auditorium, providing the bedrock for an array of Bay Area and Latin jazz luminaries.
The evening will feature an impressive roster of special guests, including powerful vocalists Destani Wolf and Zoe Ellis, legendary percussionist Orestes Vilató, rising star trumpeter Skylar Tang, and virtuosic vibraphonist Kyle Athayde, plus more artists to be announced. This concert is not just a birthday party—it’s a testament to John Santos' enduring legacy and his role as a central connector within the global jazz community. Expect an evening that is celebratory, rhythmic, and deeply rooted in the heart of Afro-Cuban tradition.
