JazzMN Orchestra Concert - A Tribute to Tito Puente

Erin McLennon, Neighbor

Tito Puente (1923-2000) was a pioneering force in jazz, creating a new fusion of big band, Latin and salsa music. The JazzMN Orchestra and Twin Cities percussionist Rey Rivera will guide us in honoring Tito by performing his original transcripts, along with many works inspired by this jazz legend. The concert will also feature Twin Cities vocalist Lucia Newell.
