The series continues on Thursday, June 21, with the long-awaited return visit by the Danilo Perez Trio, featuring Perez on piano, Ben Street on bass, and Adam Cruz on drums. Perez's last local appearance as a leader was a memorable performance on the Athenaeum Neurosciences series in September 2001. This extraordinary Panamanian pianist and composer is counted among the most influential and dynamic jazz musicians of our time. His distinctive blend of Pan-American jazz (covering the music of the Americas, folkloric and world music) has attracted critical acclaim and loyal audiences. Danilo's abundant talents and joyous enthusiasm make his concerts both memorable and inspiring. Whether leading his own ensembles or touring with renowned jazz masters (Wayne Shorter, Roy Haynes, Steve Lacy), Danilo is making a decidedly fresh imprint on contemporary music. Perez has led his own groups since the early '90s, and as bandleader has earned three Grammy nominations for his ebullient and innovative recordings. Of his more than 8-year trio collaboration with Street and Cruz, the Boston Phoenix wrote, "No one in the mainstream is played more freely than this trio." Partial funding for this performance is made through the Western Jazz Presenters Network and the National Endowment for the Arts.
