Tickets start at $7 for the April 26th 7:30 pm performance at Lund Auditorium of Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble.  Featuring founding members Darwin Noguera on piano and Victor Garcia on trumpet, the Chicago Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble fuses Afro-Latin American music with jazz. The group uses Latin rhythms as the core of its hybrid sound, and the basis for its innovative and exciting explorations of jazz boundaries. Founded in 2006, CALJE boasts a bevy of acclaimed Chicago jazz musicians in its lineup, and strives to follow in the footsteps of such pioneering groups as Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra and Dizzy Gillespie’s United Nation Orchestra.

Very easy to get to Dominican University in River Forest and plenty of parking; attended a show there last month.
