Arturo O'Farrill
Jazz and Spirit
Saturday, May 21 at 8PM
Featuring the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra
The spirit will move you, literally, in this exploration of the deep connection between jazz and spiritual traditions. This concert features two works from Grammy Award-winning composer Arturo O’Farrill and featuring the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra. A Still Small Voice is a hybrid of classical jazz and Afro Latin elements, focused on the idea of a conscience, a voice inside of us that knows right from wrong. The Apollo Theater is pleased to be commissioning a new work to be penned by O’Farrill, entitled The Cornel West Concerto which will set text by the virtuosic speaker, scholar and activist, Dr. Cornel West to Afro Latin Jazz orchestration. Steeped deeply in the faith and in the oratory of great preachers, Dr. West's clarion call for social justice rings loud and clear in the style and improvisatory genius of a great jazz musician.
