Live Musical Entertainment @ City Beach, Fremont March 14, 2009

The Nerio DeGracia Mambo Jazztet, featuring Nerio De Gracia, is a Latin Jazz/Mambo/Afro-Cuban sound like no other. Early on in his career, Nerio simultaneously expanded his musical skills to include the vibraphone and marimba. Nerio joined master percussionist Francisco Aguabella that featured yet another legend in latin percussion, Armando Peraza. The liason resulted in the album Hittin Hard with numerous performances around the Bay Area, including Winterland and The Fillmore. Through out his career, Nerio has played with a virtual Who's Who of San Francisco Bay Area Latin and Jazz talent including Carlos Federico, percussionist Babatunde Lea and Pete and Sheila Escovedo's band. In the latter years, Nerio has developed close ties with some of the Bay Area's finest musicians, and many of which are found on his critically acclaimed album , An Evening in Luzon Nerio now has his own interpretation of the Mambo Jazz improvisation that will mesmerize you and get you up and dancing. You will be hearing about him for years to come. Reservations are strongly advised so call 925-634-6444. Music begins @ 9:00pm til 1:00am approx. There's an $10.00 cover at the door.
