Jazz at Joe’s Pub: A New Collaboration
On Monday May 7, The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music will host the first concert in a new collaboration with the world-renowned downtown performance venue, Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater.
Consistent with at Joe’s Pub’s reputation as a premier showcase for up-and-coming musicians and emerging artists from a variety of disciplines, each semester the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music will be presenting performances by selected student ensembles, providing its talented young musicians with real-world professional experience playing in one of New York’s finest music rooms.
The first event will feature a double-header of two separate performances led by faculty members Michael Wolff and Bobby Sanabria:

- 9:30 p.m. The New School Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra: Bobby Sanabria, drummer, percussionist, composer, bandleader, and New School Jazz faculty member, will lead a performance of Latin Jazz of the East Harlem tradition, which was created by the Cuban maestro Mario Bauzâ°, and features blazing brass and driving percussion.
