| Jazz for Young People: Who is Tito Puente? |
Sat, Apr 10
1:00pm & 3:00pm |
More than just a great bandleader and master percussionist, Tito Puente was the Latin jazz bandleader for over four decades, freely mixing jazz and Cuban music into a strong, spicy concoction. Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra bassist Carlos Henriquez—an alumni of the Puente’s own orchestra-- and friends will demonstrate why Mr. Puente was called “El Rey de Salsa” and the “King of Mambo.” Featured guests include students from JALC’s Middle School Jazz Academy and a pair of Latin dancers.

| Jazz for Young People: What is Free Jazz? |
Sat, Jun 5
1:00pm & 3:00pm |
| Join bandleader, composer and drummer extraordinaire Matt Wilson as he shows youngsters and oldsters alike that free jazz is the fun and playful side of the music, the kind where you get to make up your own rules as you go along. Matt and his quartet demonstrate how, in the free form jazz pioneered by Ornette Coleman and others in the '60s, you get to play with things like rhythm and melody, pitch and volume, and the other basic elements of music. Chances are that your kid is already a free jazz musician and you don't even know it.
This event is also available as part of a subscription series.
