CINE BACCO CONCERT SERIES VOL XVVII: “Afro-Samba” by the San MIGUEL JAZZ ALLIANCE .

Friday June 13 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm

Event Description

“Every city should have a bastion of Jazz ”— these are the words of Jaime Valle, who, along with Victor Monterrubio, formed the San Miguel Jazz Alliance (SMJA) to cultivate the art of improvisation and keep the flame alive by honoring jazz’s great composers.

This supergroup gathers some of the finest international jazz artists, each with their own distinct sound and experience. Alfred Thompson, an alto saxophonist from Cuba, weaves hypnotic, storytelling melodies infused with Latin tinge. Pianist Papacho Sirdey’s rhythmic approach and angular lines draws from his multicultural background, blending tradition with innovation. Bassist Sergio Carrillo grounds the ensemble with a forward-moving drive honed through years of collaboration in myriad original projects nationwide. Drummer Victor Monterrubio’s solid, propulsive energy elevates the group to exhilarating heights. And, of course, Jaime Valle, whose guitar work reflects a profound knowledge and love for jazz’s timeless legacy.

For this special concert, the SMJA will delve deeply into the African roots of Brazilian samba, forging dynamic connections with Hard Bop, Caribbean rhythms, and Modern Jazz.

Cine Bacco's intimate setting and beautiful natural accoustics allow for an up-close, privileged immersion into the vibrating universe of jazz.
