New Works for Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra
Featuring the Grammy-Nominated
Bobby Sanabria Big Band
Friday, October 20, 2006 @ 8pm

As a drummer, percussionist, composer, arranger, recording artist and educator, Bobby Sanabria and his 19-piece orchestra have been described as an unstoppable juggernaut, moving the big band sound into the 21st century. His virtuosity on drums has been compared to that of Buddy Rich, Louis Belson, Billy Cobham and Tito Puente. Having performed on numerous grammy-nominated CDs, Sanabria has received the “2003 Outstanding Achievement Award" by Ivan Acosta of Latin Jazz USA, voted “2005 Percussionist of the Year" by the readers of Drum! Magazine and was recently inducted into the “Bronx Walk of Fame" in June 2006. Downbeat Magazine says that “Sanabria is one of the most astute and passionate champions of Afro-Cuban music on the scene today." He has described his music as “Cuban music with a New York City attitude." Revel in the majesty of the Afro-Cuban jazz big band sound of this incredible orchestra, led by one of today's cutting edge artists as they perform the music of today and tomorrow in Tribeca PAC's gorgeous concert auditorium. And don't worry - dancing is allowed!

Regular Ticket Price: $25
