Eighteen musicians blend Afro-Latin rhythms, Caribbean steel pan, and classical Indian melodies in an evening of big band jazz and world music.
Join in on Thursday, October 29, for live music with Joe McCarthy's New York Afro Bop Alliance Big Band, a Latin Grammy Award-winning, Grammy-nominated ensemble known for its bold sound and spirit. The performance will take place at The Pocket Jazz Club.
