Tom's Proverb Trio Photos from SJ Jazz
Tom's second SJ Jazz Summer Fest gallery is up - this one deals exclusively with Dafnis Prieto's amazing Proverb Trio. They improvise everything - chords, form, lyrics, grooves - but it's not the abstract madness you expect from "free jazz" - the musical materials are very accessible to the ear so what you hear sounds composed even though it's improvised - truly amazing.

Calixto Returns to Modern Drummer and Northern California
Beyond Salsa Percussion is featured in the September issue of Modern Drummer magazine, probably the most high profile exposure we've got since the series was launched. This is Calixto's second feature in the magazine, the last one being in 1994 as part of a "The Drummers of Cuba" series along with Enrique Pla and Changuito.
In other Calixto news, the maestro has actually moved himself and his talented family to Denver, CO. He'll also be featured on an ongoing basis as an "artist in residence" in conjunction Cal State LA's prestigious Latin Music graduate program. And he'll be playing three gigs in Northern California as part of Edgardo Gambón's "A Tribute to the Timbales" concert series. The first will be on Aug. 10th at the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest..
