Cuban percussionist Luis Conte and his Super Bien Septet heat things up at Sierra Madre Playhouse, transforming the historic venue into a jazz club straight out of Havana, on Sunday, September 22, 2024, 7:30 pm. The Latin jazz legend, known for his work with James Taylor, Phil Collins, Jackson Browne, Pat Metheny, and Madonna, has also recorded with superstars Michael Jackson and Barbara Streisand. He was member of the Dancing with the Stars Orchestra for nine years and received the Henry Mancini Award for his work with the Neighborhood Music School. Bringing the heat, along with Conte are his equally renowned bandmates Alberto Salas, keyboards; Leider Chapotin, trumpet; David Urquidi, saxophone/flute; Eddie Resto, bass; Kevin Ricard, tumbadoras; and lead vocalist Nando Perez.
Sierra Madre Playhouse is at 87 West Sierra Madre Boulevard, Sierra Madre, CA.
