These master musicians will take turns igniting the stage with their signature sounds—then come together for a once-in-a-lifetime mashup that will have you dancing in the aisles!

“Steve’s music is loaded with the instantly-likable melodically attractive and rhythmically intriguing performances that once made Latin jazz the kind of music a diverse audience could groove to. “A lot of guys today play too much,” Kroon adds, explaining how he approaches the style reverently, with an emphasis on finesse.”
