Sunday, Dec. 17, 2023, 4:00-5:30 p.m., Front Lawn. “Swinging into the Holidays,” featuring trumpeter Enrique Sanchez and CuBop Jazz Quartet. 

A graduate of the prestigious Juilliard School, Enrique Sanchez is an in-demand trumpet player, composer and educator. He graduated from the Osceola County School for the Arts in Kissimmee and moved to New York, where he was fortunate enough to begin recording at the professional level. He performs frequently on television (“America’s Got Talent,” ABC’s “Good Morning America,” “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, “The Tonight Show” with Jimmy Fallon and Univision) as well as on some of the country’s most prestigious stages like Madison Square Garden and the Hollywood Bowl.

CuBop, led by bassist Marco Bojorquez, is an Orlando-based jazz ensemble. Nominated “best jazz act” in Orlando, this group celebrates the Latin-infused side of the Blue Note catalog. Their origin stems from the fusion of the Afro-Cuban and BeBop sounds of stylistic pioneers Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, and Horace Silver. Since the group’s inception in 2015, the Cubop catalog has expanded to cover a wide array of styles in the jazz idiom from Latin-Jazz to Hard Bop and to more progressive avant-garde styles all rooted within the classic quintet and sextet format.
