The Darrell Voss Latin Jazz Quintet with vocalist Maite Garcia to be featured
–The 2017 Arroyo Grande Village Summer Concert Series moves south of the border with the Darrell Voss Latin Jazz Quintet on Sunday, July 30. Join your friends at 1 p.m. at the Rotary Bandstand in the Village of Arroyo Grande for this unique Latin mix of vibes and vocals from great local musicians. Activities during the day will spotlight the concert sponsor Phillips 66 and the featured nonprofit the Arroyo Grande Public Art program. The Arroyo Grande Village Summer Concert Series, now in its 12th Season, is known for presenting the most eclectic and diverse musical offerings of all the regional summer series. A fun raffle, food, drinks and free tours of historical buildings in Heritage Square Park are also always available. This free Series is presented by the Arroyo Grande Village Improvement Association and the City of Arroyo Grande Recreation Services Department. Rabobank again joins these organizations as the Featured Series Sponsor.
Vibraphonist/Percussionist Darrell Voss will lead an afternoon of Latin Jazz music that will feature vocalist Maite Garcia and other local stars: pianist Larry Arone, Saxophonist Karl Welz, Congalero Rick Collins, and bassist, Dylan Johnson. Voss’ vibraphone will speak the influences of Cal Tjader, Tito Puente, Stan Getz, Horace Silver and other great Jazz artists. Be sure to expect rhythmic synchronicity within the ensembles Montunos and Percussive jams. Darrell will be joined by Vocalist Maite Garcia’s fresh, nurturing sound, sure to resonate her warmth with Boleros, Cha Cha Cha’s, and Mambos. Garcia and Arone have collaborated over the years to create their Soulful Recording, “Que Cosa! Viejo Amor” which will be available for sale at the concert.
The featured nonprofit organization at this show will be the Arroyo Grande Public Art program. AGPA is a non-profit volunteer organization dedicated to bringing public art to the City of Arroyo Grande.
