Join the Gulf Coast Symphony & Gulf Coast Jazz Collective for JAZZ AT THE MACC: JAZZ FUNK WITH DAN NAVARRO

Join the Gulf Coast Symphony and Gulf Coast Jazz Collective on January 12, 2023 at 7:00pm for "Jazz at the MACC: Jazz Funk with Dan Navarro" at the Music & Arts Community Center in Fort Myers.

Dan Navarro is one of the most in demand bass players in Tampa. He can do anything you ask him to, but if you put an electric bass in his hands, and ask him to get funky, you'll have a hard time staying still! The Collective will be playing some of Dan's compositions, as well as music from the Jazz masters that entered the funk genre including Herbie Hancock, Jacoi Pastorius, among others. Featured alongside Dan Navarro will be James Suggs on trumpet and Zach Bornheimer on saxophone. It's going to be a groovy night!
Sponsored in part by Robert Opatrny & Susan Sutherland; Victor & Jackie Solomon.
