San Antonio's annual Jazz'SAlive festival is today and tomorrow, downtown at Travis Park. In my nearly nine years living here, I've yet to attend, but this year should finally be different.
After all, playing tonight are Artruo Sandoval and Henry Brun and the Latin Playerz. Sandoval is a Latin Jazz great whose music I've been enjoying for many years. I've seen him live twice before, both back in the late 1990s, once in Honolulu and once here in San Antonio. Henry Brun I've discovered more recently. He has a great band as well, and also happens to be my bongo teacher.
I'm still kicking myself for missing this event last year, when the legendary salsa pianist and band leader Eddie Palmieri was here. But last-minute work responsibilities shot that entire weekend and ruined those plans
That's not going to happen again!
The show starts early this afternoon. Then Henry Brun takes the stage at 6:15, followed by singer Jane Monheit at 7:45 and Arturo Sandoval at 9:30. It should be great.
