On Friday, June 3rd, trumpeter RAY VEGA and THE LATIN JAZZ QUINTET perform an evening of salsa and Afro-Cuban music at Flushing Town Hall in the concert “LATIN JAZZ" as part of the “Jazz Live!" series. The concert takes place in the beautifully renovated Flushing Town Hall Theater. Seating is cabaret-style.

A native of the South Bronx, RAY VEGA is a veteran of salsa and Latin jazz bands of Tito Puente, Ray Barretto, Mongo Santamaria, Hector LaVoe, and Louie Ramirez. Mr. Vega is known as one of the innovators of the new generation of Latin jazz players with his own fiery brand of real New York Latin Jazz---a true fusion of jazz repertoire and Latin rhythms. A multi-talented trumpeter, percussionist, composer, and arranger, he presents Latin jazz from a refreshingly original and contemporary perspective.
