Freight Holiday Revue w. The John Santos Quartet & special guest Kimiko Joy
Doors: 7:00 PM, Show: 8:00 PM
Thurs. December 20
Freight and Salvage

A night of fun includes a benefit for the Freight with the John Santos Quartet and special guest Kimiko Joy.

The John Santos Quartet validates and manifests the fact that jazz was born in a Caribbean environment (New Orleans) and organically draws from the rich cultural expressions of the region. The JS Quartet gloriously exemplifies the wide world of creativity that is a vital and natural extension of traditional rhythms and forms throughout the Americas. Original arrangements and compositions, a high degree of improvisation, and a broad repertoire from the jazz and Latin American canons are the group’s trademarks. The John Santos Quartet is at once unique, exciting and inspiring for all ages.

Saul Sierra – bass
Maro Diaz – piano
David Flores – drums
John Santos – percussion

Kimiko Joy – Vocalist extraordinaire/composer Kimiko Joy is an original East Bay gem who combines a great love for jazz, funk, reggae, hip hop and soul. She has graced local and international stages and studios with myriad artists including Booker T. Jones, Les Nubian, Zap-Mama, the Hieroglyphics and Lyrics Born.

The Santos/Joy collaboration honors the jazz standard through Afro-Latino lenses.
