DINNER BREAK
8:00pm Weber Iago & Jovino Santos Neto: Piano Summit

Eddie Palmieri, influenced in his youth by the riotous sounds of Latin music in Spanish Harlem, changed the sound of Latin music forever, becoming a legend in his lifetime. He will take center stage in the Venetian Theater for the first night of Caramoor's Jazz Festival. Weber Iago and Jovino Santos Neto begin the evening with a battle between supremely-talented Brazilian pianists.

The afternoon of great sounds kicks off with the soulful tenor saxophone playing of David Sanchez and his quartet, followed by the piano stylings of Geri Allen and her all star trio. The last pre-dinner set features Steve Turre, whose work on trombone and conch shells has made him a favorite of everyone from Ray Charles to the Saturday Night Live Band.
