CATALINA JAZZ CLUB is starting the party with CUBAN JAM SESSIONS featuring AFRO-LATIN SYNDICATE on Thursday, April 9th.

Cuban jam sessions have a rich, evolving history that connects the foundational jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms of early 20th-century Cuba with the global salsa movement epitomized by groups like the Fania All-Stars.
