ONE MORE TIME: CONJÚNTO RETURNS TO VELVET LOUNGE

JANUARY 2 Guest appearance by Fred Anderson

Sanders formed Conjúnto in 2001 to explore the confluence of Jazz and Latin standards with original compositions and arrangements.

The intuitive interplay of the musicians in this long running ensemble ensures a free approach to the music and makes every performance unique. Moving confidently from Afro-roots to intricate improvisation, Conjúnto engages mind and body with their polyrhythmic intricacy, thoughtful arrangements, and virtuoso soloing. Conjúnto has released two CDs: Live in Little Village and Chicago Sessions.

They have appeared at Andy's, HotHouse, La Jacaranda, the Chicago Jazz Festival, Hyde Park Jazz Festival, Rumba, Checkerboard Lounge, Summerdance, the Chicago Cultural Center, Jazz Showcase, Velvet Lounge, Katerina's, and many others. Violinist James Sanders leads Steve Eisen on winds; Roel Trevino and Jean- Christophe Leroy on percussion; Leandor Lopez- Varady on piano; and Brent Bentler on bass.
