Dan Miller & Lew Del Gatto
Dan Miller built his reputation touring and
recording with Harry Connick Jr., Wynton Marsalis and Maynard Ferguson, working
as a jazz trumpet player in NYC since 1991. He brings together a tremendous
group of musicians he’s worked with through the years including NYC bassist Ben
Wolfe (Wynton Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., Diana Krall), tenor saxophonist Lew
Del Gatto, pianist Doug Bickel (Arturo Sandoval), guitarist Dan Heck and
drummer Ron Hefner for a hard swinging evening of the music of Thelonious Monk,
Dizzy Gillespie and the critically acclaimed compositions of Ben Wolfe. Miller teams up with saxophonist Lew Del
Gatto who spent over two decades (1975 – 2005) on the stage of Saturday Night
Live as part of the SNL band. The duo’s fat, brassy sound is complemented by
the dulcet be-bop tones of bassist Ben Wolfe, who has played alongside Wynton
Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and Diana Krall.

DOLPH COSTELLANO
May 11, 2013:
Jazz Project, 8pm
DOLPH COSTELLANO
Considered one of the top jazz pianists in South Florida, Castellano is prominent in the context of an ensemble while creating his unique magic on the piano. He has performed with a who’s who of local and international jazz stars, including Woody Herman, Sam Donahue, Jimmy Dorsey, Art Moony, Ralph Marterie, Charlie Spivak and Cy Zentner. He also worked and recorded with Ira Sullivan, Pete Minger, Chubby and Duffy Jackson, and played with Dizzy Gillespie on his 60th birthday, also worked with Lou Donaldson, Donald Byrd and many others.

Oriente
Fusing Cuban roots with New Orleans-style
jazz, Caribbean and Brazilian influences and conceived by Cuban-born
guitarist/composer Eddy Balzola, the group’s signature sound features funky guitar,
driven tumbaos, blazing harmonic brass, and explosive Afro-Latin
percussion. Tired of touring with
reggae, Latin, and show bands, Balzola wanted to create a group that celebrated
a sound all its own. He joined the talents of Stuart King (trumpet/percussion),
William Paredes (trombone), Yoel Del Sol (multi-percussion), Pepe Aparicio
(bass) and Orlando Machado (drums/percussion) and created an inimitable sound
that rouses audiences and leaves them toe tapping and begging for more.

Jazz Project, 8pm
Tiempo Libre
“Simply
put, the orchestra’s modern take on Afro-Cuban roots blended with Latin jazz is
second to none.” Miami
New Times
The seven members of Tiempo Libre met as
teenagers at one of Cuba ’s
premier conservatories, where they mastered the critical skills necessary to
play classic Cuban music. During a time in Cuba when listening to American
music was forbidden, the boys crowded around a homemade radio and listened to
the beats of Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, and Earth, Wind, and Fire. After
emigrating to the United
States , the men formed Tiempo Libre, a band
that celebrates the best of Latin and American music. Since their inception,
they have garnered three Grammy nominations, the first for their debut album
Bach in Havana ,
which melds classical tunes by Johann Sebastian Bach with the soul-stirring rhythms
of salsa, merengue, and cha-cha. The group has since been nominated for two
more Grammy awards, and has toured and performed extensively, including a
performance on the ABC television hit Dancing with the Stars. Tiempo Libre is
the picture of musical innovation, and is one of the hottest young bands in
both Latin and contemporary American music today.
