John Santos Sextet at this week’s Friday Nights at the de Young

Pub date August 23, 2012

This Friday night, August 24, 2012, bring out the dancing shoes and salsa with the John Santos Sextet. Five-time Grammy nominee John Santos and his sextet are among the vanguard of today’s Latin jazz artists, performing and recording adventurous original compositions and arrangements firmly rooted in the Caribbean traditions where jazz was born. The band features Dr. John Calloway on flute, Melecio Magdaluyo, on sax, Saul Sierra on bass, Marco Diaz on piano, David Flores on drums, and John Santos on percussion. Find them live in Wilsey Court at 6:30pm!

Also, the Artist Studio Tamar Assaf features her installation Bay Invaders: Non-Native Species Are Changing the San Francisco Bay Ecosystem. Join her for exciting hands-on art making featuring the plants and animals of the Bay.

Live music, hands-on art, and the Artist Studio are FREE and open to the public. Every week through November 23, the museum hosts cocktails, prix-fixe in the Café, and more at Friday Nights at the de Young.

Tickets are required to view the permanent collection galleries now featuring Real to Real: Photographs from the Traina Collection and Chuck Close and Crown Point Press: Prints and Processes.
