The Urban Renewal Big Band returns to the world-famous Jazz Kitchen with an evening we call "The Latin Side of Urban Renewal". Over the years, the band has written nearly 300 original arrangements of our favorite tunes. Many of these charts feature the richness of Latin influence in the evolution of modern jazz.
This program will include music from all across the jazz spectrum, including Brazilian bossas, high-energy Afro-Cuban selections, Latin funk, and of course, plenty of straight-ahead swingin' Check back soon for tickets
