Bill Caballero is the real deal. Decades of hosting Latin Jazz jam nights in Barrio Logan featuring Los Maniacos have honed his chops and led to his induction into the San Diego Music Hall of Fame. In June, he’s bringing his best musicians to the Encinitas Library for an afternoon that is guaranteed to delight and entertain. In a twist, he’ll be substituting the guitar for our Steinway. It’s a move that will only enrich the already full sound of the Quinteto and may lead to some unique musical moments.

This show will be a powerful blend of jazz and soul with touches of Daneen’s gospel roots. As always she will bring world class, grammy award winning musicians and maybe her sisters and daughter as back up vocalists to produce a sound that will make a strong man weep. We only get a chance to have Daneen once every couple of years. Don’t miss this opportunity.
