Omar Sosa & Stanford Jazz Orchestra
Opening night of Omar Sosa’s week is a celebration the pianist’s music for big band, specifically the pair of memorable recordings he has done in collaboration with Germany’s NDR Bigband, 2010’s Ceremony and es:sensual from 2018, with innovative arrangements by Jaques Morelenbaum.
Utilizing a hand-picked ensemble of Bay Area-based musicians for this date, Sosa’s sophisticated mix of an Afro-Cuban framework and Morelenbaum’s advanced orchestration comes together in this vibrant performance that challenges conventions while honoring tradition through constant redefinition. For this concert, Sosa will be performing with the Stanford Jazz Orchestra.
