Pedrito Martínez in the Bay Area!
Sunday SF - Monday Santa Cruz

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.
Los López-Nussa in the Bay Area
(photo by Tom Ehrlich) The duo of Harold and Ruy Adrián López-Nussa played a great set at Kuumbwa tonight and will play SF Jazz four times: Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and then two sets sandwiched around the Pedrito Martínez Group's show in the big hall on Sunday. Pedrito then goes down to Kuumbwa on Monday night.

Meanwhile, Peter Maiden's second Havana d'Primera gallery is up here:
Havana d'Primera Photos
UPDATE: New video by Tom Ehrlich - "Havana D' Primera... SABROSO" - A Latin Jazz descarga loosely based on Cachao's "Las Boinas". Here Alexander employs a clever call and response maneuver with his trumpet and the audience, after taking a monster solo. Piano and percussion solos follow.
The first of three Tom Ehrlich galleries of Havana d'Primera in the Bay Area is now up: Friday at Yoshi's SF. Still to come are Saturday at Yoshi's SF and Tuesday at Kuumbwa Jazz Center. And don't forget Peter Maiden's great work from the Saturday show. Finally, several more super high resolution, LPM-mastered videos are coming soon.
