Tom Ehrlich - 2024 Monterey Jazz Festival, Part 1

MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL PART 1

SEPTEMBER 27- 29, 2024

TEXT AND PHOTOS BY TOM EHRLICH ©

This years report on the Monterey Jazz Festival is presented late due to problems with the timba.com web site.

The report will focus on the Afro-Caribbean Muisc groups at the festival and some time in the future a feature story on the Pedrito Martinez Group by Kevin Moore will be posted. 

Traditionally the Afro-Caribbean Music presented at the festival has been either jazz groups or orchestras which play dance music for listening such as Tito Puente.  This year for the first time I am aware of, the festival had a salsa dance group every night where the audience was encouraged to dance.  The group was Christian Pepin &. Orquesta Bembé, a Bay Area All Star group which played every night of the festival, each night being a different set of music.  Pianist Jonathan Montes was the only musicain who was not from the Bay Area - originally from Puerto Rico now residing in Los Angeles.

Friday's group consisted of:

Christian Pepín  - leader, percussion and coros

Karl Perazzo - percussion and coros

Ernesto Mazar-Kindelán - bass an coros

Jonathan Montes - piano and coros

Christelle Durandy - vocals

Braulio Barrera - vocals

Bill Ortega - trumpet

Oscar Soltero - percussion and coros
