Harlem on the Hudson: Heatin’ up the Hudson with Chris Washburne and SYOTOS

Trombonist Chris Washburne and his acclaimed group SYOTOS return to Bard with the Brazilian pianist André Mehmari. SYOTOS pushes the genre of Latin jazz, combining Afro-Cuban, funk, jazz, gospel, and contemporary classical music—“think Tito Puente meets James Brown meets Charles Ives!” The stellar band will be joined by special guest André Mehmari, considered one of the most talented young musicians of his native Brazil. The sounds of North and South America meet as these musicians come together in a night of sizzlin’ hot Afro-Latin jazz.
