Pianist and composer Donald Vega leads an ensemble of international masters of swing in celebration of his latest release As I Travel. Inspired by the Guggenheim Fellow’s metaphorical journey through music and his literal journey of immigration from Nicaragua to the United States, As I Travel extols the human spirit. A bicoastal treasure, Vega remains a highly sought collaborator from New York to Los Angeles, as well as a prolific band leader. His quartet features acclaimed artists Luques Curis, Carlos "Carly" Maldonado, and Jerome Jennings. Don’t miss an evening of striking melodies, elastic syncopation, and deeply personal new music from this prolific artist.  For more information, visit www.donaldvega.com.  PERFORMANCE LINEUP Donald Vega - Piano Carlos Carly Maldonado - Percussion Luques Curtis - Bass Jerome Jennings - Drums
