Galeria The Art Venue

The two-time Latin Grammy nominated Julio Botti South American Project quartet will perform in concert on Friday, September 27, 2024 at 7:30 pm at the popular Latin Jazz @ Galeria music concert series. TEATRO Sí presents this live music concert event at the wonderfully intimate GALERIA The Art Venue, located at 111 Quimby Street in downtown Westfield, NJ. Come to experience the acclaimed Tango/Jazz fusion and more compositions by saxophonist Julio Botti and the members of the South American Project quartet in concert.Julio Botti is a 2-time Latin Grammy nominated artist, composer and saxophonist. Botti started his music career at age 8, in Cordoba, Argentina where his mother gifted him his fi­rst saxophone. Since then, he has scoured the world to re­fine his skills and discover new and exciting sounds. From nightclubs in Havana to the caves of Madrid, from befriending Buddy Miles to collaborating with acclaimed artist Maestro Pablo Ziegler, Botti’s life has been a whirlwind journey, spanning almost 30 years over 3 continents, all in the pursuit to develop and perfect Nuevo Tango – a progressive form of Jazz Tango.Two of his music albums received Latin Grammy nominations including; Tango Nostalgias nominated for Best Tango Album in 14th Annual Latin Grammy Awards (2013) and Sax to Tango nominated for Best Tango Album in the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards (2016).Julio’s two recent album recordings include; Jazz Tango Fusion (2019) with Julio Botti and his quartet breaking new ground in this ambitious musical journey. Blending masterpieces from Astor Piazzolla and Pablo Ziegler the album is an edgy and colorful reimagining of Modern Tango, with equal parts of modern Jazz.The Pure Tango album (2020) is a blend between the vivid colors that traditional tango offers, with its traditional instrumentation fused the compelling sound of Botti’s saxophone. This album balances fresh and modern without losing the vintage sound of the old guard of tango rhythms, arrangements, and repertoire.The most recent single composition, El Tio is also offered in concert by this wonderful group of musicians for their supportive listeners.The South American Project quartet includes talented music artists; Dario Acosta Teich on guitar and vocals, Carlos Mena on bass and Franco Pinna on drums.Refreshments will be available for your enjoyment.
