Green’s growing portfolio of vibrant sounds – an enchanting mix of jazz, classical, and Brazilian rhythms – has captured the attention of critics around the world, including DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, San Diego Union Tribune, the Boston Globe, and Public Radio International.

It’s no small wonder that Green has earned two San Diego Music awards for Best Jazz Album and an additional award for Best Jazz Artist. His long-time trio includes bassist Justin Grinnell and drummer Julien Cantelm, noteworthy musicians in their own right, and together they have developed a nearly psychic connection as they perform Green’s original compositions and jazz standards. Green takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts introspective and exuberant, and always compelling. The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library.

Please come join us in conversation around a presentation from Christine Zoumas MS, RND with the Healing Foods Program at Moores Cancer Center. Seven years ago, she developed the Healing Foods program at UC San Diego to ensure that all cancer patients, survivors, and their caregivers have access to evidence-based nutrition information. She has been working with cancer patients for 20 years with her research projects and her community and patient-based programs. Christine feels that nutrition is an essential part of cancer treatment, recovery, and a healthy lifestyle. She is also very passionate about translating dietary recommendations and promoting achievable behaviors that meet each client’s individual needs, preferences and lifestyle. Come hear her speak not only about how to eat once diagnosed and in and after treatment but also on how to improve your chances at avoiding cancer in the first place or its recurrence as related to what and how you eat.
