Bay Area-based percussionist, composer, and former SFJAZZ Resident Artistic Director John Santos brings his supercharged sextet with guest trumpeters Bill Ortiz, Ray Vega, Dr. Gary Bean, and Skylar Tang for an evening celebrating the legacy of Latin jazz giants Jerry and Andy González.

On this night, Santos pays tribute to the late brothers Jerry and Andy González, Bronx-born bandleaders and multi-instrumentalists, who, in the words of acclaimed Latin jazz pianist Arturo O’Farrill, “changed the face of Latin jazz—in fact, they defined that hybrid.”
