On July 28, Grammy-nominated Cuban pianist Elio Villafranca returns to Caramoor with Elio Villafranca & The Jass Syncopators, a group that challenges the boundaries of jazz by fusing it with the syncopated nature of Afro-Caribbean music forms, using an interpretive musical approach echoing Duke Ellington’s Colored Syncopators. The Lionel Loueke Trio follows with an elegant mixture of Afropop and jazz. The Jason Marsalis Vibes Quartet makes its Caramoor debut with bassist Will Goble, drummer David Potter and pianist Austin Johnson. The James Carter Organ Trio – known for a repertoire that includes jazz, swing, ballads, gospel and blues – warms up the crowd before the Mingus Big Band takes the stage for a celebration of the music of composer/bassist Charles Mingus in “The Genius of Mingus 1963: 50th Anniversary Concert.”
