THE JULY 7, PROGRAM HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO EXTREME HEAT 7-9PM July 7* Gregorio Uribe Big Band: This brilliant 16-piece ensemble blends the danceable swing of traditional Colombian rhythms with the subtleties of jazz orchestration and harmony. They are a fresh, sophisticated, and wildly fun addition to the burgeoning scene of new Latin music. http://www.gregoriouribe.com, www.myspace.com/gregoriouribe
7-9PM July 21 Kaissa: This Camaroonian songstress performs a unique blend of African, reggae, jazz, R&B, makossa, and Brazilian fusion. As part of her electrifying performing style, she incorporates elements of traditional African music and dance, mixed with contemporary styles. http://www.myspace.com/kaissa1, http://kaissa.com
7-9PM July 28* George Gee Swing Orchestra: Rollickin’ roadhouse boogie is the heart and soul of this electrifying 10-piece ensemble. George’s world-class cats let loose and really blow – resulting in stunning, high-energy rockin’ grooves. And the devilish rhythm section peppers the mix with cutting-edge variations – delighting listeners and dancers from coast to coast! http://www.georgegee.com, http://www.myspace.com/georgegeeswings
