Cuban Dinner and Latin Jazz From Grammy Nominated Chembo Corniel

Latin dinner and live Latin jazz make for one tasty pairing -- and the perfect outing to celebrate Mother's Day. You'll enjoy the music of Chembo Corniel while dining on an included Latin meal featuring roasted chicken, rice and beans and sweet plantains. Called "the bright light of Latin jazz" by "Latin Beat Magazine", Corniel and his group landed a Grammy nomination for the 2009 CD "Things I Wanted to Do". The renowned percussionist has played alongside or collaborated with some of the legends of percussion, including such luminaries as Tito Puente, Machito, Louie Ramirez, Chucho Valdes, Grady Tate, Chico Freeman and Larry Harlow's Latin Legends Band. He now leads the quintet Grupo Chaworo, which features music that has been described as "a sprinkling of be-bop, a touch of swing with a dollop of bomba, rumba, tango and danzón topped with 'un chin' de charanga." Plus, every lady leaves the show with a rose, another sweet surprise for mom or a date.
