Danilo Pérez Trio & David Sánchez Quartet
Friday, May 16, 8:00
The extraordinary Panamanian pianist and composer Danilo Pérez is among the most
dynamic musicians of our times. Dating back to his debut with Dizzy Gillespie’s
United Nations Orchestra in the early 1990s, his distinctive blend of Pan-American
jazz has made a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music. Pérez’s abundant
talents and contagious enthusiasm make his concerts both memorable and inspiring.
Like Pérez, tenor saxophonist David Sánchez pushes the frontiers of mainstream
jazz to incorporate a compelling array of Latin and Afro-Cuban influences while
remaining true to the tenets of the jazz genre. Born in Puerto Rico, Sanchez
composes and arranges for a number of ensemble configurations. His ambitious CD
“Coral,” won a Latin Grammy® Award for Best Instrumental Album in 2005.
