About Luis Verde
With saxophonist/composer Luis Verde, potent jazz improvisation fuses with bold, playful and surprising composition. He’s one of the most remarkable and distinctive Contemporary Jazz musicians of his generation in Spain. A striking saxophonist and curious mind at large, Luis’s latest project, “Vientos Cruzados” (his third album as a sole leader) draws upon the musical wisdom of Mark Schilders (drums), Moises Sánchez (piano & keyboard) and Reinier Elizarde (double bass).

Villa Locura es un espectáculo, un junte de talento 100% Puertorriqueño que trae consigo la representación de varias escenas musicales/culturales del país a cargo de los mejores exponentes de cada una de estas escenas, que se unen bajo un mismo escenario. En su mayoría todos son residentes de Puerto Rico con la excepción de algunos integrantes que residen en la ciudad de Nueva York.
Villa Locura es también una celebración de nuestra cultura Mestiza y presenta la “Sangre Nueva” de nuestra música actualmente en conjunto con sus ideas.
Servir de puente entre el Jazz y el Rock , El Folclor y la música Electrónica y entre el Rap y la Salsa. La clave esta en encontrar los puntos que tenemos en común y no solo enfocarnos en lo que nos separa.

BERNSTEIN IS ‘ON TOWN AGAIN’
This concert comes under the heading “America Oggi – Omaggio a Bernstein”. One hundred years exactly from his birth, Leonard Bernstein’s name still arouses lively interest and sincere devotion in the whole world of music – and draws a vast public! This reflects his ability to transmit on stage – in his multiple roles as a composer, conductor and pianist – a convincing capacity for communication like few others in the 20th century. His approach to often-complex scores made them easier to grasp, and his rare talent as a teacher made him a reference for generations of listeners. The pianist and composer Moisés P. Sánchez has dedicated this concert entirely to Bernstein, elaborating the music in an original jazzy key. He is backed by an ensemble whose execution of these pieces, and their ability to improvise, has gained them great prestige.
Músicos:
Moisés P. Sánchez (piano, composición y orquestación)
Alberto Brenes (batería)
Toño Miguel (contrabajo)
Pablo Martín Jones (percusión)
