The Marcus Roberts Trio Sunday, May 2 The music soars as Roberts and his Maserati of a band shift from mood to mood. —People Magazine A former pianist in Wynton Marsalis’ quartet, Marcus Roberts is a leader of the new generation of jazz stars, respected for both classic jazz interpretation and the strong personal statements in his music. His best-selling recordings include the work of Jelly Roll Morton, Thelonius Monk and Duke Ellington as well as original compositions, as featured on his latest CD Blues for the New Millennium. For this concert, he’s joined by Jason Marsalis on drums and Roland Guerin on bass in a program of music written and inspired by Ellington.
Arrive at 7 p.m. for a Meet-the-Artist Discussion with Marcus Roberts; open to ticket holders only.  |

Carlos Núñez Band Celtic Music from Northern Spain Thursday, May 6 If it’s possible to become a pop star playing bagpipes and recorder, Núñez could be the man. —Los Angeles Times Carlos Núñez is the sensational bagpipe player who brought down the house as guest artist on tour with the Chieftains last year. He leads his band in the unique Celtic music of Spain: reels, jigs and heart-rending serenades tinted with flamenco and Latin sounds. In Núñez’ sparkling mix, bagpipes, flute and penny whistle make magic alongside Spanish guitar, bass and accordion. Look for his new CD in January 1999. General public: $14/$17/$20 Students: $12/$14/$16 Co-sponsored by KCBX and The Santa Barbara Independent |
