Omar Sosa Quarteto Americanos | Athenaeum Jazz The spring series opens on Thursday, March 27, at Scripps Research with a long-anticipated local debut as a leader of acclaimed Cuban composer-pianist-bandleader Omar Sosa and his Quarteto Americanos, featuring Josh Jones on drums, Ernesto Mazar Kindelán on bass, and Sheldon Brown on sax, clarinet, and flute. Sosa is widely celebrated as one of the most versatile jazz artists on the scene today. His musical trajectory traces the African diaspora from Cuba to Brazil; from Central America to Ecuador’s African-descent communities; from San Francisco and New York to his current home base in Barcelona. True to his Afro-Cuban origins, Sosa fashions a spirited vision of uncompromising artistic generosity that embraces humanity at large. Nominated for seven Grammy awards and twice for the BBC World Music Awards, Sosa received a lifetime achievement award from the Smithsonian Associates in Washington, D.C., for his contribution to the development of Latin jazz in the United States. The New York Times wrote, “Sosa's music is the unifying sort, yoking together Africa and jazz and Latin America and hip-hop. He makes it work, being one of those rare birds whose keyboard skills are near those of Chick Corea and Chucho Valdes.” Billboard commented, “Sosa is one of the truly illuminated minds of world jazz. He is shaping a new synthesis of Latin and American jazz.” The concert will be in person at the Scripps Research Auditorium (10620 John Jay Hopkins Drive, San Diego, CA 92121, north of Genesee Avenue in Torrey Pines Mesa). There are no physical tickets for these events. Your name will be on an attendee list at the front door. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is first-come; first-served.

This groundbreaking album—featuring hits such as "Suffragette City," "Moonage Daydream," and the title track "Ziggy Stardust"—can be found on virtually every list of the greatest albums of all time. David Bowie's 1972 masterpiece, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, is a seminal concept album that follows the story of Ziggy Stardust, a rock star who serves as a messenger for extraterrestrial beings.

The album features iconic tracks such as “Starman,” “Suffragette City,” "Moonage Daydream" and the title track, “Ziggy Stardust,” which blend glam rock, proto-punk and avant-garde influences to create a theatrical and innovative sound.
