Ruben Caban Quintet
Jazz Encounters – Friday, May 8
WDNA Jazz Gallery
Award winning Puerto Rican trombonist Ruben Caban brings a unique blend of original music that can best be described as “Latin-infused hard bop.” Ruben has toured and recorded with an array of internationally renowned artists such as Dianne Shurr, Randy Brecker, Arturo Sandoval, Oscar De Leon, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Paquito De Rivera, and many more. His latest release, Kangana, has earned international acclaim and features a who’s who of South Florida’s top talent including Nestor Torres, Ed Calle, Roxana Amed and Tal Cohen. As an international jazz educator, he actively teaches all around the world from Eastern Europe to South America and the Caribbean.
The quintet features Jim Gasior on piano, Agustin Conti on bass, Waldo Madera on drums and percussionist Roberto Vizcaino, Jr. From swing to funk, to Latin jazz, blues and neo-soul, this fiery quintet is sure to encourage some dance moves with their infectious rhythms.
Ticket holders are invited to arrive at 7pm to enjoy a pre-show reception catered by The Fish House and view “Passion Art Jazz,” an art exhibition by Anthony Harris, host of WDNA’s Jazz Before Midnight. Students are invited to claim one of the limited free tickets and join the post-show jam session. Jazz Encounters is made possible with the support of the Miami Dade County Division of Cultural Affairs, Musicians Discount Center, Piano Music Center and Yamaha Pianos.
