Click image to enlarge
Translating as “Jazz with Soul” Jazz Con Alma provides just that. Led by pianist Beth Lederman, the band mixes rhythms from swinging sambas, groovin’ mambos, soothing bossa- novas and romantic boleros into traditional jazz and Latin repertoire. Rooted in the spirit of improvisation and fun, this group brings the musicality and excitement of this creative art form to life.
