TURTLE ISLAND STRING QUARTET
with Special Guest Paquito D'Rivera, clarinet

Two pathbreaking artistic forces team up for an extraordinary evening. D'Rivera founded Irakere, whose explosive mixture of jazz, rock, classical and traditional Cuban music had never been heard before. Turtle Island has created bold, new trends in chamber music, fusing the classical string quartet aesthetic with popular styles. A chance meeting at Newark Airport brought them together and a collaborative album and tour is the happy result.

GEORGE WINSTON


After hearing records by the legendary Thomas "Fats" Waller and the late Teddy Wilson, Winston took up the acoustic piano and created the melodic, impressionistic renderings that have made him a Grammy-winning instrumentalist. His seasonally-themed albums are among the most popular in an impressive recorded catalogue. Entitled "Summer", his program at El Camino features selections that span his 30-year career.

DIANNE REEVES
Tribute to Sarah Vaughn
One of today's greatest vocalists salutes her guide and inspiration. "Sarah opened the door," says Reeves, whose career proves that the jazz vocal tradition is in good hands since the passing of greats like Vaughan. Possessed of a strong agile voice, rhythmic virtuosity and improvisational ease, Reeves can sing in just about any style she chooses. The LosAngeles Times hailed her as "an original who really walks the walk."
