***TWO SETS: 9PM & 10:15PM*** ***$10 (CASH) SUGGESTED DONATION*** ***LUNATICO HAS A FULL DINNER AND COCKTAIL MENU SO COME EARLY TO EAT!*** Powerhouse percussionist Samuel Torres leads his killer Trio Libre co-conspirators. This band floored us back in June. Join us! Carmen Staaf: Piano Daniel Neville: Vibraphone Samuel Torres: Congas Percussionist/composer/bandleader SAMUEL TORRES has performed, arranged, produced and/or recorded with a “who’s who” of the jazz, Latin pop and classical worlds, including Tito Puente, Arturo Sandoval, Paquito D’Rivera, Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea, Alejandro Sanz, Ricky Martin, Richard Bona, Lila Downs, Angelique Kidjo, Marc Anthony, Rubén Blades, Cecile McLorin Salvant, and his country’s own international superstar, Shakira. He has been featured as a composer and soloist with classical orchestras such as Berlin Symphoniker, City of London Sinfonia, Cuban National Symphony, The Bogotá Philharmonic, Medellín Philharmonic, and The Cali Philharmonic. In 2019 Torres won the Latin Grammy Award for the Best Classical Record with his album 'Regreso' a concerto for congas and symphony orchestra. He is a three-time recipient of the New Jazz Works Grant by Chamber Music America and received 2nd place at the Thelonious Monk Jazz Competition in 2000. With TRIO LIBRE, Torres seeks sounds of intimacy over expansion, deliberately focusing on the exposed texture created by piano, vibraphone, and congas. This special combination of instruments brings us into a delicate musical conversation. Torres elaborates, “The exposed ensemble setting mirrors the emotional landscape of the central suite, We the People, which I conceived during a period of personal uncertainty, mainly due to current sociopolitical factors.” The compositions on Trio Libre reflect Torres feelings about the vulnerability inherent in our times, balanced by the powerful discovery of solidarity and strength found within our communities, musical and otherwise.
