Performance: Sonic Liberation 8 with Oliver Lake

This eight-member ensemble is deeply rooted in the traditions of Afro-Cuban music and has spent years fusing that grand tradition with new sounds, including composed jazz, modern chamber composition, and the powerful Orisha spirit. They have played extensively in the Philadelphia and New York areas and at festivals and cultural institutions throughout the Midwest U.S. and Canada. Sonic Liberation 8 has consistently won international critical acclaim and has been named No. 1 or Top 10 by the Village Voice, All About Jazz, Jazziz, and more.

This is the kick-off event for Jazz Appreciation Month and will be held at the Arts Council of Princeton, 102 Witherspoon St.
