Featured drummer and Percussionist Alejandro Castaño

Join us for this month’s Jazz Salon featuring acclaimed drummer and percussionist Alejandro Castaño, a dynamic voice in Colorado’s jazz scene and member of the CJRO Latin Jazz Ensemble.

In this intimate one-hour program, Alejandro will sit down with CJRO Artistic Director Drew Zaremba for a lively conversation with live music woven throughout. A first-generation Cuban and Colombian American, Alejandro draws deeply on his heritage, blending the rhythms of Afro-Cuban traditions with the expressive language of modern jazz.

This is a rare opportunity to hear personal stories, cultural insights, and world-class music up close. Whether you’re a longtime jazz enthusiast or simply curious about the rich traditions of Afro-Cuban jazz, this Salon offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative spirit that shapes the music.
