Jazz at George's Feat. Wayne Wallace Latin Jazz Quintet June 7, 2012

George's Nightclub is proud to introduce Jazz at George's! The series began Thursday January 5, 2012 and will happen every first and third Thursday of every month*! In association with Urban Music Presents, George's will present the best of local, national and international Jazz superstars and we expect the stage to be graced with surprise guest visits from renowned Bay Area Jazz players. George's invites musicians and fans of Jazz to come and participate in what promises to be an incredibly hot Thursday session!

This session will be fronted by Trombonist Wayne Wallace and his Latin Jazz Quintet! They have released three albums to date (including the Grammy nominated Bien Bien) representing the gamut of Latin music, from Latin jazz to cha cha cha, cu-bop, samba, bolero, and bomba.

Performing original compositions and Jazz and Latin standards from composers such as Duke Ellington, Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane,Tito Puente, Moises Simon, and Juan Tizol, the quintet is a world wide musical trip to be enjoyed by all.

Voted 2011 Latin Jazz Trombonist Of The Year by the Latin Jazz Corner Best Of The Year Awards!



“Their repertoire is flawlessly funky and erudite, based on excellent rhythm and blues and Afro-Cuban elements. They are all extraordinary jazz players, starting with Wallace himself.” Jeff Dayton-Johnson, All About Jazz
