The Rolando Matias Trio blends Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz improvisation across two sets at the Ginger Rabbit Jazz Lounge.
The Rolando Matias Trio brings Afro-Cuban jazz to Ginger Rabbit Jazz Lounge on Friday, October 30. It's a double-bill night, which means they're playing two separate sets rather than one long one, so you have a couple of windows to catch them.
As for what they do, the trio blends the rhythms and energy of Afro-Cuban music with the improvisation and artistry of jazz. That's the core of the sound: the driving, syncopated feel of the Caribbean meeting the open-ended, conversational side of jazz. If you're already a fan of either, this is where they cross over.
The two sets run at different times, so you can pick the one that fits your night. The first is from 7:15 to 8:45 PM, with doors opening at 6:45 PM. The second runs from 9:30 to 11 PM, with doors opening at 9 PM. If you're looking for an early evening, the first set does the trick; if you'd rather head out later, the second is your best bet. Both are at the same venue, so you don't have to move around.
