“Gabriel is a wonderful composer who is creating sounds few people have heard before. Very fresh!” Maria Schneider
In an exclusive 2007 West Coast performance, Peruvian jazz trumpeter and composer Gabriel AlegrÃa leads the Afro-Peruvian Sextet in an exploration of the polyrhythmic world of Afro-Peruvian jazz at REDCAT. AlegrÃa is joined by saxophonist Laurandrea LeguÃa, guitarist Jocho Velazquez, bassist Joscha Oetz, drummer Hugo Alcázar and percussionist Freddy “Huevito” Lobatón – who plays traditional Afro-Peruvian instruments such as cajón (box drum) and quijada (jawbone) and adds spectacular passages of zapateo criollo tap dancing. Featured music in the evening’s performance will include pieces from AlegrÃa’s latest recording, Nuevo Mundo.
