Join us on Friday, May 13 at 8PM for a special Snap on 2&4 featuring the Imer Santiago Quintet and the OCSA Jazz A Big Band!

Trumpeter Imer Santiago is known to Nashville jazz fans as the leader of his own quintet, as well as one of the founding leaders of latin jazz band El Movimiento. Imer recently accepted a position in Florida in one of the state's top high school music programs, and he's returning in force to the Jazz Cave at the Nashville Jazz Workshop!

The concert will feature sets by Santiago with his quintet, and with the OSCA Jazz A Big Band.
