DA CAMERA JAZZ

Miguel Zenon Quartet

Saturday, November 15, 2008, 8:00 PM Cullen Theater, Wortham Theater Center

No. 1 Rising Star saxophonist in the 2006 Down Beat Critics Poll, Miguel Zenón made a deep impression on Da Camera audiences in his recent appearance with SFJAZZ Collective. “A strong force in both contemporary jazz and Latin music” (New York Newsday), Zenón manages to blur the lines between the two without sacrificing the power of either.

Zenón's most recent cd is Awake. It follows 2005's Jibaro, Zenón's bold reinterpretation of the rural music of Puerto Rico helped earn him the overall Best New Artist award in the 2006 JazzTimes poll.
