¿Wappin? 2016 Panama Jazz Festival sneak peek
These videos feature some of the musicians who will be playing and teaching at the next Panama Jazz Festival. For those of you in latitudes that will be cold by then — and yes, even you Chileans and Argentines who will be into summer at the time — mark your calendars and make your flight and lodging reservations for January 11-16, 2016. Not all the artists will be playing with the same groups shown in the videos — alas, the festival’s classical component will be without the Sinfonica Nacional de la Republica Dominicana, and Danny Rivera will be performing with Danilo Pérez instead — but these selections ought to give you an idea of the sorts of sounds that will be coming our way.
