This project brings together the raw passion of flamenco with the spontaneity and soul of jazz — blending compás, groove, improvisation, and deep musical conversation into one unforgettable night.

Joining me for this special performance: • Wendy Castellanos – Flamenco Dance • Melody Collins – Flute • Scott Wolf – Guitar • Guil Juliao – Bass • Elias Vasquez – Drums & Percussion Plus Special Guests. Together we’ll move from intimate acoustic textures to high-energy Flamenco Jazz explorations inspired by Paco de Lucía, Chick Corea, and the spirit of the tablao mixed with a late-night jazz club. From deep grooves and swinging improvisation to explosive palmas and passionate baile, this ensemble lives in the space where Flamenco puro meets jazz freedom.
