Salongo is not just a band – it is a joyous celebration of the latin, straight ahead, Afro-Cuban, R&B/Neo-Soul, and fusion jazz traditions that move not just the heart and mind, but also the body.

Formed in 2001 and named after an expression from Zaire meaning we come together to create something beautiful out of love, Salongo presents a rare combination: upbeat and accessible music, technically sophisticated instrumental and compositional technique, and the capacity to draw authentically from multiple jazz styles through original compositions.

Until recently, Salongo could only be heard live because its members were so sought after by the likes of Lauren Hill, Art Blakey, Gato Barbieri, Joe Henderson, Mongo Santamaria, the Frank Foster Big Band, Chaka Khan, and the Temptations. It has recently released its own recording, which has been received with much critical acclaim.

Come help CJS close out its 2007-08 season with a celebratory bang, and learn why Salongo is likely to be seen and heard with increasing frequency in the years ahead.
