Cruise with KSDS to Cuba! What's included in your cruise fare to Cuba with Latin Grooves host, Chris Springer? Just about everything: 3 1/2 days of shore excursions, including stops in Havana, Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos. Shipboard travel between ports, so you can spend your travel time relaxing by the pool, not sitting on a bus. Three meals a day, including all lunches onshore and 7 nights in a comfortable cabin aboard the MV Adonia, so you only have to unpack once. The 7-day cruise sets sail out of Miami on May 14, 2017. Immerse Yourself. This is the Real Cuba, up close and personal.

Next Up - Saturday, January 14, 2017 BIRTH OF THE COOL: A WEST COAST JAZZ SALUTE - A night not to be missed! Series curator Gilbert Castellanos celebrates the music that made the “west coast sound,” paying homage to some of the greatest West Coast artists: Dave Brubeck, Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, Paul Desmond and that “prince of darkness” himself, Miles Davis.
Dorado Schmitt & The Django All-Stars - Tuesday, November 28, 2016 - The series concludes on Tuesday, November 29, with the area debut of Dorado Schmitt & the Django All-Stars. The ebulliently swinging “jazz manouche” sound, created in the 1930s by pioneering Gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stéphane Grappelli, is more pervasive today than ever. And no one has done more to ignite interest in the idiom than dazzling French guitarist and violinist Dorado Schmitt.

Upcoming Artist of the Week - Chuck Mangione - Born November 29, 1940 (age 75 years, 76 this week)
Throughout the 1970s, Chuck Mangione was a celebrity. His purposely lightweight music was melodic pop that was upbeat, optimistic, and sometimes uplifting. Mangione's records were big sellers yet few of his fans from the era knew that his original goal was to be a bebopper.
Chuck Mangione played with the big bands of Woody Herman and Maynard Ferguson (both in 1965) and Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers (1965-1967). In 1968, now sticking mostly to his soft-toned flügelhorn, Mangione formed a quartet that also featured Gerry Niewood on tenor and soprano. They cut a fine set for Mercury in 1972, but otherwise Mangione's recordings in the '70s generally used large orchestras and vocalists (including Esther Satterfield), putting the emphasis on lightweight melodies such as "Hill Where the Lord Hides," "Land of Make Believe," "Chase the Clouds Away." and the huge 1977 hit (featuring guitarist Grant Geissman) "Feels So Good."
