ICA Thursdays Free Admission
10-Jul-08
Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art is free every Thursday from 5-9PM, courtesy of Target. Today is a very special Thursday because, apart from free admission to the museum, there is also a free concert by the Berklee Latin Jazz All-Stars as part of the summer concert series Harborwalk Sounds. I can’t wait to get out of the office and enjoy some joyful polyrythym by the harbor !

The Berklee Latin Jazz All-Stars, six top scholarship students at the college, came to Berklee from Puerto Rico, Israel, and the U.S., and coalesced around their love for the polyrhythm and joyful precision of the Latin jazz form. The group was named this year’s Best College Jazz Band in Down Beat, under the name La Timbistica, and recently performed as part of the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Next Generation Festival in Monterey, CA. The All-Stars are led by conguero Paulo Stagnaro and include trumpeter Niv Toar, flutist Enrique Trinidad, pianist Abraham Olivo, bassist Juan Maldonado, and timbalero Marcos Lopez. They will headline the Tito Puente Latin Music Series in Boston this summer, and also perform at the Duke Ellington Jazz Festival in Washington, D.C. Admission is free. Space is limited. via icaboston.org
