Jazz at the MACC: Jazz Funk

Sponsored in part by Robert Opatrny & Susan Sutherland; Victor & Jackie Solomon

Dan Navarro is one of the most in demand bass players in Tampa. He can do anything you ask him to, but if you put an electric bass in his hands, and ask him to get funky, you’ll have a hard time staying still! The Collective will be playing some of his Dan’s compositions, as well as music from the Jazz masters that entered the funk genre including Herbie Hancock, Jacoi Pastorius, among others. Featured alongside Dan Navarro will be James Suggs on trumpet and Zach Bornheimer on saxophone. It’s going to be a groovy night!
