The smooth soul of the jazz dances in perfect harmony with the rhythmic sways of the Latin instruments to create a dialogue that crosses mountains of time. This Sunday is a celebration of that connection with "Latin Heart," a new exploration of "the intersection between jazz and Latin American musical traditions." This one-time performance features the Edward Simon trio along with the Del Sol Quartet and guest saxophonist Chris Potter.

Grammy nominated pianist David Benoit is bringing his Christmas Tribute to Charlie Brown to the Montalvo Arts Center. Benoit was so moved by hearing Vince Guaraldi's score of A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965, that he knew what his future looked like, penning the last two decades of Peanuts specials. Along with his own originals and renditions of classics like "Carol of the Bells," and "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town."
