The Brick Church Music Series presents, Friday Feb. 9th @ 7pm one of the highlight shows of the season - the Ray Vega Sextet!
A native of the South Bronx, RAY VEGA is a veteran of the bands of Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, Mario Bauza, Luis "Perico" Ortiz, Hector LaVoe, Johnny Pacheco, Larry Harlow, Pete "El Conde" Rodriguez and Louie Ramirez to name a few. Ray has performed and/or recorded with Joe Henderson, Lionel Hampton, Mel Torme, Paquito DRivera, Arturo Sandoval and the list goes on!
Ray has established himself as one of the innovators of the international Jazz and Latin music scenes. A multi-talented trumpeter, percussionist, composer, and arranger, he presents Jazz from a refreshingly original and contemporary perspective.
Vega grew up immersed in the heart of two vibrant New York City music scenes: Jazz and Salsa.
Vega is currently a senior lecturer at the University of Vermont. Along with coaching 4 Jazz combos, he teaches trumpet and Jazz history. In 2015 the University of Vermont honored him with the distinguished title of University Scholar for 2015-2016. He was the first creative in the history of the university to receive this high honor.
This will be a high energy evening of Latin/Caribbean jazz at its finest. Be sure to join us!
