The acclaimed Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble, directed by Murray Low, presents their Winter Concert. The group has an exciting program lined up, including a few firsts - modern jazz arrangements of centuries-old Sephardic music from Spain, new Afro-Brazilian grooves, and multi-cultural songs from today's artists! As usual, the band also presents the usual mix of songs spanning the entire Latin Jazz idiom-- starting with an eighty year old Danzon, through classic salsa and samba, and finally to modern instrumental Mambo Jazz. . Don't miss hearing and seeing the next generation of talented musicians in this genre. We'll get you moving in your seat, guaranteed!

Established in 2008 by Grammy-nominated pianist Murray Low, the ensemble has emerged as one of the premier academic performing groups of its kind. As prior recipients of a prestigious SiCA (Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts) grant, SALJE has been given the opportunity to collaborate with several luminaries in the field of Afro-Latin music that have helped to elevate the ensemble's performance acumen, as well as aid in establishing Stanford as a vital West Coast center for Afro-Latin Jazz.
