Latin Jazz Concert Takes Place at Barron Arts

The Barron Arts Center and The Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission will host a latin jazz concert featuring Jazz Pianist Gilberto “Pulpo” Colon Jr.  and his band Ensalada on March 22 at 8 pm. The concert is part of the Latin Fusion: Jersey Style Concert Series, an arts series celebrating Latin influences in New Jersey and how New Jersey has influenced Latin culture.

The concert admission is free, with a suggested donation of $5. Reservations are required. For more information, call 732-634-0413.

In a press release from the Barron Arts Center, "The band is a mixture of different musical elements that help create its melodic magic. As a result, the band is able to reach a multitude of audiences that may crave a full “Salsa Orquesta” or others that may prefer an all-American jazzy rhythm section... Pulpo is coming off the successful release of his debut album “Hot Bread” awarded Best Latin Album at the 2008 Independent Music Awards."
