ExperThe Dizzy Gillespie Afro-Latin Experience is a testament to Gillespie’s relentless passion for world music, masterfully blending it with Jazz throughout his groundbreaking career. His extensive repertoire, fueled by his love for African, Argentinian, Brazilian, Caribbean, Cuban, and Spanish musical cultures, stands as a beacon of innovation and dedication.
The Dizzy Gillespie All Stars are coming to SOPAC, featuring Gillespie’s long-time bassist, musical director, and SOPAC Jazz in the Loft curator John Lee, alongside the dynamic drummer Tommy Campbell. Joining them are the powerhouse Freddie Hendrix on trumpet and flugelhorn, the versatile Sharel Cassity on alto saxophone and flute, the brilliant Brazilian pianist and vocalist Abelita Mateus, and the electrifying Roger Squitero on congas, bongos, and percussion.
This is your moment to experience the All Stars as they ignite SOPAC’s stage with Gillespie’s iconic melodies like Manteca, Tin Tin Deo, Toccata and more! Embrace the energy, feel the rhythm, and let the music drive your spirit forward.
