Saturday's schedule was a challenge for me having to decide which groups to cover. This report will include the following groups: Las Cafeteras, Terri Odabi, Dave Stryker Quartet, Emmet Cohen Trio, The Cookers, Artemis, Matthew Whitaker and Joel Ross "Good Vibes".
Las Cafeteras is popular band from East Los Angeles who combine traditional Mexican music with rock and Hip Hop to ceate energetic music and dance with socially conscious lyrics.

Most of these musicians are band leaders and they played an inspired set of music.
Matthew Whitaker
Matthew Whitaker keyboardist and organist is only 21 years old. He was a child prodigy and has performed with many big name musicians since he was 9 years old. His music and antics remind me of Ray Charles. He perfomred with a quintet including guitar, bass, drums and percussionist.

Ivan Llanes
The biggest surprise of the festival is seeing Ivan Llanes who I had not seen in 11 years. Ivan is Cuban and he came to the United States 11 years ago playing with the great Cuban flutist Maraca. We were both excited and surprised to see eachother.
Ivan Llanes
Ivan has a complete pcercussion set up including congas, bongos, itmbales and an assortment of small percussion instruments.
A great set of music and happy to reconnect with Ivan.
Joel Ross vibes, Immanuel Wilkins sax, Kanoa Mendenhall bass, Jeremy Hutton drums
The finl performance of the night was a group of young phenoms which is one of my favorite bands - Joel Ross Good Vibes. Leader Joel Ross is still in his 20s and is already master vibist with his own unique style. Immanuel Wilkins is a great saxophonist and he also is a band leader that has a big following.

A great way to end a wonderful long day of outstanding music. Joel and the band kicked butt. Joel's group was one of the highlights of the festival for me.The future of improvised Afro-American music is in good hands.
