Chano Domínguez Flamenco Sketches
featuring Ben Street, Blas Cordoba and Dafnis Prieto
March 27-28, 2012
$20.50
The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley presents pianiast Chano Domínguez for two nights touring in support of his new CD Flamenco Sketches. Band members are Ben Street (bass), Blas Cordoba (vocals/percussion) and Dafnis Prieto (drums).
"Chano Domínguez is creating what may be the first organic combination of jazz and flamenco." - Jazz Times
Barcelona-based pianist Chano Domínguez has brilliantly fused flamenco with jazz to cook up his latest release Flamenco Sketches, a stunning new interpretation of Davis’s seminal music on Blue Note Records. It was commissioned by the Barcelona Jazz Festival in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of Kind of Blue and was recorded live at the Jazz Standard in New York in 2009. For the Jazz Alley performances expect Domínguez to bring his unique flamenco jazz approach to "So What," "All Blues," "Blue in Green" and other tunes immortalized on Kind of Blue. Indeed, Flamenco Sketches is unique in its flamenco-fueled view of the Davis repertoire.
"Nobody marries flamenco and jazz as smoothly as Chano Domínguez." - NPR

CURTIS SALGADO BIG BAND
April 10-11, 2012
$24.50
The Pacific Jazz Institute at Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley presents soul-filled, bluesy R&B singer and harpist, Curtis Salgado and his big band for two nights only, touring in support of their new release Soul Shot! Band members are Curtis Salgado (vocals/harmonica), Vyasa Dodson (guitar), Dave Fleschner (keys), Tracy Arrington (bass), Brian Foxworth (drums), David Mills (trumpet), Gary Harris (sax) LaRhonda Steele (background vocals) and Margaret Linn (background vocals).
Award-winning vocalist/songwriter/harmonica icon Curtis Salgado sings and plays with soulful authority, never giving less than 100 percent. He plays each and every show like it's the most important gig of his career. Winner of the 2010 Blues Music Award for Soul Blues Artist Of The Year, Salgado effortlessly mixes blues, funk, and R&B with a delivery that is raw and heartfelt. Blues Revue says, "Salgado is one of the most down-to-earth, soulful, honest singers ever, and his harmonica work is smoking and thoroughly invigorating... rollicking, funky, and electrifying."
Salgado and his band also toured with The Steve Miller Band, and Curtis spent a summer singing with Santana before being sidelined by serious health issues in 2006. He's battled all the way back to health, and after a complete recovery, has been tearing up concert stages all over the country.
