Triple Door, 9:30pm CALL 206-838-4333 FOR TICKETS OR BUY ONLINE
Jerry Gonzalez & Fort Apache Band
$24 general
Repeatedly cited as the most formidable working Latin jazz ensemble, Jerry Gonzalez and the Fort Apache Band visits Seattle to prove once again how they have established themselves as, according to Down Beat, "the most influential modern Afro-Caribbean jazz group of the past 30 years." Applying a global view of jazz in creating his unique blend of improvised music, trumpeter/conguero Jerry Gonzalez has led one of the most enduring and successful jazz ensembles in the world. With profound knowledge of traditional jazz and Afro-Caribbean forms (Gonzalez's credentials include positions with Tony Williams, McCoy Tyner, Anthony Braxton, Tito Puente, Paquito D'Rivera, and Machito, among others), the Fort Apache Band is uniquely equipped to explore and develop musical dialects, creating something wholly original and compelling. Writing in The New York Times, Peter Watrous echoed this sentiment, noting that "the band has come up with something immensely dramatic, music that constantly shifts angles and approaches."
Do not miss this opportunity to see the pre-eminent masters of Latin Jazz!
