If you've never seen the Pedrito Martínez Group, you're in for a treat. It's a quartet that plays with the energy, creativity and danceability of a full timba band, with just the right volume level - you can feel it but you don't need earplugs. They play in two of the best acoustic spaces in the world: the new SF Jazz hall and Santa Cruz's legendary Kuumbwa Jazz Center. You'll never hear timba played as well and SOUND as good and clean as you will in these shows.

The Pedrito Martínez Group plays SF Jazz Sunday night  then goes down to Kuumbwa on Monday  night. Meanwhile, in  a different hall in the SF Jazz structure, the López-Nussa Duo will play SF Jazz  tonight, and twice tomorrow, Sunday.
