JazzSabor is a labor of love. A group of seasoned Bay Area musicians are performing in propulsive rhythm to a hot genre of Latin jazz. Some of these artists once shared the stage with legendary drummers and bandleaders. Today their talent takes on new dimension as they deliver a unique blend of Latin dance music. Among the members of the group is Sam Austin, who occasionally plays his horns near the Civic Center BART station to appreciative fans.<br />His enthusiasm about this latest venture drew me to tag along to a couple of rehearsals earlier this year. I was completely captivated by the group’s spirit, energy and discipline. JazzSabor is a diverse ensemble of performers who share a passion for Latin music with funk and soul. I shot this as they were preparing to cut a demo CD. Now JazzSabor is performing across the Bay Area and have an upcoming gig in Redwood City on May 27th at Angelica’s Bell Theatre & Bistro. They are on on fire and having the time of their lives taking already successful musical careers to the next level.
