“CC and the Adelitas” represents the intersectionality between identity, race, gender and culture. The Adelitas were the women solderaderas of the Mexican Revolution, which helped forge “Adelita” into an icon in Mexican culture, representing the strength and fortitude of women into the modern day. This project and the experience that it creates incorporates the history of the Adelitas and Mexican song writers and/or singers and sets the music in the jazz idiom.

Our featured set will be an album release event for virtuoso trombonist Nanami Haruta, in a quartet with Christopher Minami, guitar, Jim Alfredson, organ, and Jazz Tuesdays host Jeff Shoup, drums.

Led by acclaimed bass trombonist Chris Glassman with artistic counsel from the legendary Bill Sears, this is Traverse City’s own big band, assembled of professional musicians from all across the state. No tickets or reservations necessary; $10-20 at the door.
