DACAMERA and The Menil Collection present a free outdoor show with jazz saxophonist David Caceres.

Houston-based vocalist/saxophonist David Caceres offers a rare combination: a soulful, emotive voice and the skills as an alto saxophonist to go toe-to-toe with the best players of his generation. He has shared the stage with a varied and prestigious list of musicians, including Kirk Whalum, John Pattitucci, Bob James, Regina Belle, Delfeayo Marsalis, Yolanda Adams, Brian Blade, and Paquito D’Rivera, Wynton Marsalis, and Ricardo Montaner. David’s recording career is as varied and impressive as his work on stage.

Stop, Look and Listen! is a series of free chamber music and jazz concerts presented in one of Houston’s most inspiring and stimulating environments, the world-renowned Menil Collection. Admission to the Menil is always free.
