These are important things to note to help you enjoy your visit Bring cash (small bills), the internet is spotty at this location and connecting to pay with cards can be very time consuming. Even if you are 99, you need to bring your ID. Licensing for the event requires all IDs must be checked in order to get the “21+” wrist band, which is required for tastings. Feel Free to bring your own lawn chairs. We have doubled the shaded seating areas in 2023 and will continue this added comfort. There will be great food vendors at the event. Bring your appetite.

Renowned for his musicality, groove, and knowledge of various genres, Kautz stands out as a distinguished percussionist, educator, and composer. With an unwavering passion for jazz and world music, he has crafted a captivating and distinct musical voice. A Brazilian artist based in New York City, Kautz has been an important part of the city’s music scene for the last decade and has played and/or recorded with some of the top artists in the industry today, including Tim Ries, Magos Herrera, Nilson Matta, Chico Pinheiro, Steve Wilson, Lenny Andrade, Fabio Gouvea, Helio Alves, Victor Prieto, and Lionel Loueke. In addition to his work with various artists, Kautz has taken the lead in various projects in which he fuses the sounds of Brazilian music with jazz, most recently with his 2024 release, Where We Begin. He is joined by Chico Pinheiro, known to Athenaeum audiences from appearances with guitarists Romero Lubambo and Anthony Wilson and as the leader of his own quintet with saxophonist Bob Mintzer. Guitar giant Pat Metheny wrote, “There are many incredible guitarists out there. On the top of that list, I’d include Chico Pinheiro.” The Boston Globe called him “one of the brightest lights on today’s Brazilian jazz scene.” Visit: https://www.ljathenaeum.org/events/jazz-25-0116 Alexandre Kautz on Instagram and Facebook
