Palante Jazz
Playhouse Arts, together with Salsa at Six, are excited to present an evening with Palante Jazz at the Arcata Playhouse. Starting off the evening at 8 o’clock, founder and director of Salsa At Six, Miss Julie Hayes, will offer a delightfully easy salsa lesson. You will learn basic steps and simple partner work that you can use on the dance floor during Palante Jazz! No experience or partner required, so come join the fun. Salsa At Six has been offering the hottest Salsa and Bachata dance lessons, performances, and events in Humboldt County for the last 10 years, right next door to the Arcata Playhouse in Arcata’s beautiful creamery building, and all are welcome to their fun weekly classes every Friday. Find them online at www.salsahumboldt.com for more information.
Then at 9 PM, practice your dance moves to local and live music with Palante Jazz. This dynamic group brings together seven musicians who, collectively, have centuries of experience playing jazz and Cuban dance music. They are Jimmy Durchslag (trombone), Matthew McClimon (keyboards), Howie Kaufman (bongos), David Peñalosa (congas), Michael Stephenson (timbale/drum set hybrid), Francis Vanek (tenor saxophone), and Cyrus Wong-Weissman (bass). Matthew, Michael, Howie, and David are all members of the local group Timbata, and Jimmy and Cyrus also play in the group Latin Peppers. All together they are a powerhouse of jazz and Cuban style, featuring creatively mixed elements in combinations not typically found in Latin jazz.
All of their music is highly danceable, and Arcata Playhouse will have specialty drinks at the bar!
