Warm up those chilly bones with a night of sizzling hot jazz with critically acclaimed saxophonist Paul Carlon, Grammy-nominated conguero Wilson Chembo Corniel and young lion bassist Alex Ayala.
A native of rural Central New York, saxophonist/bandleader/composer Paul Carlon has been active on the New York City jazz and Latin jazz scenes since 1991. Paul has since traveled the world performing, teaching, and recording with a wide range of artists including Juan Pablo Torres, Harvie S, Tony Allen, Grupo los Santos, Rumbatap, Sonido Isleño and Swingadelic
Paul’s main musical fascinations, both improvisationally and compositionally, are the history and tradition of innovation and of swing in jazz, and the music of the Afro-Latin diaspora. An avowed Ellington/Strayhorn fanatic, Paul is equally captivated by Los Van Van, Pixinguinha, Charles Mingus, Stravinsky, Gene Ammons, Lenine, Eva Ayllón, Muddy Waters, and Gil Evans, among many others. A fluent speaker of Portuguese, Paul has spent time in Brazil and also in Cuba and Colombia
