Joined by Murray Low on piano, David Pinto on bass, Josh Jones on percussion, and Michael O’Neill on saxophones, Ledezma appears in a small ensemble setting that allows each voice to be heard clearly and each moment to unfold naturally.

Presented in the intimate setting of Meyhouse Jazz, this is Latin music performed with warmth and care—meant to be experienced up close.
