Fortuna Concert Series to Open Season on September 13 with The Latin Peppers
The Latin Peppers, a group comprised of musicians with many years of performing experience throughout the North coast, will open the 2014-15 season of the Fortuna Concert Series.
Led by Jimmy Durchslag on trombone--who also does the arrangements--the group plays classic and contemporary Latin jazz and dance music. Jimmy has appeared with numerous Latin bands including local favorites Ponche and Kachimbo. He teaches the Latin ensemble at the annual Lark Music Camp in Mendocino.
Orlando Morales plays congas, timbales and percussion. He has been a stalwart of the Latin scene in the SF Bay Area for many years. Rounding out the group are Andy Barnett on trumpet, Lee Phillips on bass and Tim Randles on piano and Jon Lewis on congas.
The Latin Peppers' repertoire ranges from John Coltrane to Tito Puente, Buena Vista Social Club and Mongo Santamaria, all featuring a compelling rhythmic feel that showcases tight ensemble playing and soulful improvisation.
Concert time is 7:30 p.m. at the Fortuna Monday Club (610 Main Street). Ticket prices are General Admission $10; Students and Seniors $8. Tickets for individual concerts are available at the door. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. Please visit http://fortunaconcertseries.com/ or, for questions, email fortunaconcert@live.com.
