SUMMARY:Michael Zaporski
DESCRIPTION:Michael Zaporski creates astonishing music that merges American jazz traditions with a West-African-influenced rhythmic dialogue. Serving as the pianist for the late Detroit saxophonist Sam Sanders\, Zaporski traveled to West Africa\, playing and teaching jazz through the U.S. State Department. This long-time association lead to performances with such renowned jazz artists as Jackie McLean\, Frank Foster\, Art Blakey\, Pharaoh Sanders\, and Donald Byrd. Whether fronting his own group or playing with the Planet D. Nonet\, Zaporski imbues every original composition and jazz-standard with a wealth of sophistication gained through these experiences. Through his own group\, FutureVisions\, Zaporski has garnered headlining performances at jazz festivals and colleges\, and has released several recordings— including one for orchestra\, chorus\, and jazz quartet—to critical acclaim. Combining adrenaline-pumping energy levels with African rhythms and haunting melodies\, Zaporski continues the pursuit of excellence and individuality that is the essence of the American jazz tradition.

SUMMARY:Tumbao Bravo
DESCRIPTION:Winner of three Detroit Music Awards\, Tumbao Bravo is an exciting Latin Jazz combo from Ann Arbor\, Mi formed in 2004\, performing the authentic rhythms of Cuba (mambo\, cha cha\, rumba\, bolero) with rich\, original jazz harmonics.  Led by saxophonist/flutist/percussionist/composer Paul Vornhagen\, their instrumentation also includes trumpet\, congas\, timbales\, keyboard and electric bass.  Expect the highest level of musicianship and professionalism on stage as these top notch players deliver fiery and tight arrangements of their own compositions.  Great for dancing with melodic songs and sizzling solos.  Their five PKO Records releases have been featured on all the top NPR latin jazz programs as well as sound tracks for feature length films.  Tumbao Bravo as performed in jazz clubs and music festivals throughout Michigan as well as Toledo\, Chicago and San Francisco.  LATIN JAZZ CORNER has this to say about the band–“Each band member brings a high level of comfort and experience with Afro-Cuban music. A colorful and exciting repertoire. Grooves that are supportive\, fiery and strongly rooted in tradition.”
