Jazz icon Michael O'Neill teams up with the lead vocalist from Santana, Tony Lindsay, and Latin Grammy winner Omar Ledezma, along with John R. Burr on piano, Dan Feiszli on bass, Jason Lewis on drums, and Erik Jekabson on trumpet - WHAT A BAND!!!! - to play Latin arrangements of tunes by Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Bill Withers, and some standards based on arrangements by the members of the band. This will be an amazing evening of music.

An artist who “has carved out a distinctive niche on the San Francisco Bay Area jazz scene” (JazzTimes), saxophonist Michael O’Neill has established a career built on a masterful command of the instrument and an impressive versatility as a composer – freely working within jazz, orchestral, and film score settings.

The former student of Joe Henderson has amassed a considerable resume as a sideman, logging hours on the bandstand with the likes of Idris Muhammad, Joe Locke, Michael Wolff, Eddie Fisher, and Kim Nalley, and has led what is arguably the most durable and beloved working quintet in the area for nearly 20 years. O’Neill’s quintet has achieved a seamless and powerful telepathy.

Best known for his twenty-five year stint as lead vocalist with Santana, Lindsay appeared on seven of their albums including the multi-platinum Supernatural, winning 11 GRAMMY awards. He has worked with Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Boz Skaggs, Al Jarreau, and Lou Rawls among others, but always had a strong connection to jazz.
