LUIS BONILLA AND TROMBONILLA
TO PERFORM AT WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY'S JAZZ ROOM SERIES William Paterson University
continues its fall 2001 Jazz Room Series on Sunday, October 28 with Luis
Bonilla, one of the jazz scene's hottest trombonists today, and his blistering
quintet TromBonilla. The concert will begin at 4
p.m. in the Shea Center for Performing Arts on the campus in Wayne. Tickets
are available in advance or on the day of the performance at $12 standard;
$10 for senior citizens and William Paterson community; $6 for children
12 years and under and William Paterson students. Known for its boldness, polish,
and clever improvisation, TromBonilla is brewed not only with Latin rhythms
but also a spicy blend of the best of jazz. Bonilla has spent twelve years
as a sideman to such greats as Dizzy Gillespie, Astrud Gilberto, Willie
Colon, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Billy Childs, Gerry Mulligan, Tony Bennett, Marc
Anthony and others. He also is a member of the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra
in residence at William Paterson University. Launched in the spring of 1978,
William Paterson’s Jazz Room Series has earned a reputation for presenting
concerts by eminent musicians in the jazz world. The series has been awarded
numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New Jersey
State Council on the Arts, and Citations of Excellence from the Council
for its cultural contribution to the state. This program was made possible
