Abyssinian Jazz Vespers: Steve Kroon Latin Jazz Sextet

Abyssinian Baptist Church
New York, NY
may, 30 2014
Steven Kroon - Steve Kroon was born in Spanish Harlem to parents who had moved to New York City from their native Puerto Rico.  He studied Afro-Cuban percussion with Tommy López, Sr. and later Brazilian rhythms with Dom Um Romão. With such a wealth of knowledge under his belt, it's not surprising that Kroon quickly became a first-call percussionist for recording sessions that required a wide range of talents. Over the years, such diverse artists as Diana Krall, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, The Temptations, Bill Cosby, Kenny G, Ron Carter, Spyro Gyra, Bette Midler, Gary Bartz and Paul Butterfield have tapped Kroon's seemingly endless array of skills for their projects. His two decade-long professional association with R&B crooner Luther Vandross underscores Kroon's reputation as one of the world's most versatile and respected percussionists.
Doors open at 3:30 pm. Concert at 4:00 pm.
