The Dinah Vero World Quintet Saturday February 26th at 5pm
To celebrate the end of our Presidents' Week Art Camp of day-long classes in visual and digital art media, and to close out Black History Month by honoring and celebrating the heritage of African Americans and their contribution to our history, please join us on Saturday afternoon, February 26th at 5 PM to hear The Dinah Vero World Quintet. The ensemble, led by Ms. Vero on piano, includes: Konrad Adderley on Bass, Bandoneon Sharif Kales on Trumpet, Sedric Shukroon on Saxophone and Matthew Baranello on Drums and Percussion. The program will explore the theme of "honoring the past to live in the present and to prepare for the future", and will reflect the rich history of jazz including: blues, gospel, standards and hard bop, as well as Ms. Vero's own compositions. The lineup will incorporate classic as well as contemporary compositions in a natural flow to symbolize how artists are the sum of their experiences.
The great Jazz composer and instrumentalist, Jaki Byard, said of Vero, "she is a musician with an outstanding technique and a feel for the art of improvisation. With her very personal interpretation, she reaches the soul of her audience in a powerful way.”
