Acoplados
North Street Cabaret 610 North St., Madison, Wisconsin 53704
Acoplados members Juan Tomás "Juancho" Martínez and Richard Hildner Armacanqui.
Scheduling issues for the 31st annual festival required a change of dates, and organizers seized the opportunity to expand the former two-day event into a 10-day extravaganza with 27 different performances and events at various locations throughout Madison. This year’s focus will be on local and regional acts. There are a number of acts on the Memorial Union Terrace, a State Street “jazz stroll,” a concert highlighting jazz’s gospel roots, and another honoring women’s contributions to the genre. There’s also a world premiere from saxophonist Hanah Jon Taylor, Songs for the Emerging Man. Details: isthmusjazzfestival.com.
Anchored by Juan Tomás “Juancho” Martínez on vocals and percussion and guitarist Richard Hildner Armacanqui, this is the same line-up that rocked the house in the opening set at the Greater Madison Jazz Consortium’s “Jazz Junction” event at Full Compass last August. Besides Juancho and Richard, tonight’s band members include Tony Barba, tenor saxophone; Nat McIntosh, trombone; Nick Moran, bass; and Jacob Bicknase, Yorel Lashley and Aaron Gochberg on percussion.
$10 admission.
