Join San Diego jazz icon Gilbert Castellanos and featured guest Sarah McKenzie at Portraits In Jazz!

She’ll perform a rich collection of originals, as well as jazz standards from the likes of George Gershwin, Jerome Kern, Johnny Mercer and Michel Legrand, backed by a top shelf band including Castellanos himself.

At 7:30 p.m. a pre-concert talk about some of the most legendary pianists in jazz will be given by James Romeo*, professor of music at San Diego Mesa College where he directs the award-winning Concert Jazz Band and the Kearny Mesa Concert Band. Mr. Romeo is a saxophonist with the San Diego Symphony and the San Diego Saxophone Quartet.
