World Music Encounters: Javier Chaparro & Salud

The group will play Latin jazz from South America, with stylings ranging from Antonio Carlos Jobim to Yo Yo Ma. Chaparro, born in Peru, is a virtuoso violinist who has been the Concert Master for the Brazos Valley Symphony for 33 years. While he plays classical violin, his strongest influence is the legendary French jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli. The band also features guitarist Mitch Watkins, an alum of Leonard Cohen, Lyle Lovett, and Bob Schneider.
