"One of the best trombonists in New York" (New York Times) joins forces with “one of Brazil’s best kept secrets” (EJazz News) to lead an ensemble in this bihemispheric ragtime revival. Latin jazz master trombonist Chris Washburne and Brazilian virtuoso pianist André Mehmari return to the Spiegeltent with the first installment of a two-year project in centennial tribute to the "King of Ragtime Writers" Scott Joplin, and an exploration of the international roots of jazz in the Cuban habanera and Brazilian choro traditions.
