Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble –  "Tribute to the Mambo" with guest Mitch Frohman

The acclaimed Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble, directed by Murray Low, presents their Winter Concert titled "Tribute to the Mambo" featuring special guest saxophonist/flautist Mitch Frohman.  The program showcases both classic and original repertoire paying homage to classic New York Salsa and Latin Jazz repertoire during its golden era.

A seven-time Grammy winner, Mr. Frohman literally "lived" the New York Salsa/Latin Jazz scene through his 25-year stint as a key member of the legendary Tito Puente Orchestra as also as part of the Mongo Santamaria band for many years.   He is now a bandleader in his own right as a founder of the Mambo Legends Orchestra and as a leader of his own Latin Jazz Quartet, which released a critically acclaimed CD "From Daddy With Love".

Mr. Frohman is internationally recognized as a pioneer in the idiom, having been awarded Latin Jazz USA's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016.  He has collaborated with all of the greats - Celia Cruz, Joe Cuba, Chico O'Farrill, Machito, Eddie Palmieri, and the Spanish Harlem Orchestra - to name just a few!  You've probably heard his signature sound on commercial recordings also, such as the theme song from Sex In The City, or songs performed by Paul Simon, the Talking Heads, and Cyndi Lauper.

Don't miss this special chance to hear this legendary music directly from the source!   .
