Welcome to the Stanford Latin Jazz Ensemble website! Founded by four time Grammy nominated pianist and director Murray Low, the group is dedicated to the study, performance, and interpretation of Afro-Latin music and its fusion with North American jazz. The ensemble is considered one of the finest academic performing groups of its kind. Guest artists and clinicians have included luminaries such as Oscar Hernandez, Mitch Frohman, Karl Perazzo, Jesus Diaz, John Santos, Ray Vega, Doug Beavers, Francisco Torres, Andrea Brachfeld, John Calloway, Edgardo Cambon, and Michael Spiro.

We are excited to present our final performance of the academic year! As usual we have a complete new set of music prepared covering all aspects of the idiom - traditional son montuno, classic and modern salsa, boleros, samba, Brazilian funk, rumba jazz and much more! Works include those written or performed by icons such as Rubén Blades, Ray Baretto, Buika, Djavan, and Gilberto Gil, as well as local artists such as John Calloway and John Santos. There is something for everyone. The music is guaranteed to perk up your ears - and dancing in the aisles is encouraged!

Non-students are advised to purchase tickets online through the Stanford Ticket Office Website to reserve your spot. Students with SUID are admitted one hour prior to the show.
