About this Event
Victor Garcia Latin Jazz 7tet
Grammy-nominated Victor Garcia is a musical force to be reckoned with…
’s Neil Tesser calls him “one of the most exciting young musicians.” Chicago Tribune’s Howard Reich says that he “stands out as an ebullient soloist offering a formidable technique and a radiantly polished tone.” JazzChicago.net’s Brad Walseth regards him as a “young lion trumpeter.”
He’s as versatile as he is creative. His trumpet talent heralds his international acclaim. He sings, plays percussion, and his songwriting, arrangements and charts have led him to professorial positions at Roosevelt University, Loyola University and the University of Illinois in Chicago.
Victor's Latin Jazz Sextet features Victor Garcia on trumpet, Greg Ward on alto saxophone, Mark Hartsuch on tenor saxophonen Ben Lewis on piano, Tim Seisser on bass, Victor “Junito” Gonzalez on congas and Jonathon Wenzel on drums.
The Bradley Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dr. Todd Kelly, will open the evening.
