Location: Racine Theatre Guild

Jean's Jazz concerts return with Infusion and De La Buena on Saturday, January 10, 2025 at 7 pm at the Racine Theatre Guild.
Some local Racine favorites, Infusion is a jazz, rock, funk ensemble that draws inspiration from classic fusion artists like Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Jeff Lorber, Billy Cobham and Yellowjackets, while also showcasing original compositions. Dave Sturino on keyboards, Kal Bergandahl bass, Mick Heberling drums, and Steve Jacob saxophones, produce a dynamic and engaging performance, appealing to fans of both traditional and modern jazz.
Returning after their last appearance in 2019, De La Buena employs jazz harmonic sensibility and a deep-seated love of diverse cultures. They explore the textures and rhythms of Latin music of the Americas with roots planted firmly in African Diasporic traditions. Growing from a trio into a powerful 10-piece over the last six years, De La Buena has been electrifying audiences with their own brand of Afro-Cuban and Latin Jazz. De La Buena, ever conscious of the influence and necessary respect for tradition, yet, a band willing to inject sophisticated, psychedelic sensibilities into an aggressive, expansive framework.
In 2001, Joe Mooney created the Jean’s Jazz Series in memory of his wife, Jean, who passed away from ovarian cancer. Since then, over 25,000 people have attended our concerts, grossing over $140,000 to benefit the Racine Theatre Guild. Jean’s love of the Theatre Guild and her love of Jazz inspired a series that has truly enriched the community.
